Bring a little Masters Golf to your table! I have compiled the most FAMOUS AUGUSTA RECIPES associated with the traditions of golf in one cookbook. Learn the recipe's history, get tips on making the recipe, and print beautiful golf-themed recipe cards. Your friends and family will love these!
There are a few favorite food items that every golf patron that comes to Augusta's Masters golf tournament must eat. The FAMOS MASTERS PIMENTO CHEESE SANDWICH and the MASTERS EGG SALAD SANDWICH are on the top of a long-standing list. However, there is a new contender for the top spot creeping it's way up. The Masters serves a Peach Ice Cream Sandwich that will rival any southern dessert as the perfect taste of southern hospitality.
WHO MAKES THE MASTERS PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICH
The Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich, a creation of the Christie Cookie Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, is only sold at the club during the annual Masters Tournament.
Like all vendors who do business with the private club, Christie Cookie doesn’t advertise its affiliation. There is no mention of the ice cream treat on its website or the fact that it supplies Augusta National with thousands of individually wrapped cookies to sell for $2.00. It's an understood rule that, as a vendor, what goes on between you and Augusta National stays between you and Augusta National.
WHERE CAN YOU GET A MASTERS PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICH?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only place you can get this ice cream sandwich is in Augusta during the Masters. Christie Cookie Co. only makes them for the one week of the Master's tournament.
WHAT PEACH ICE CREAM IS SERVED AT THE MASTERS
Christi Cookie Co makes ice cream for the ice cream sandwich, and since it's for a private club, they do not have the ingredients listed on their website. This makes it impossible to get the ingredients to create a copycat recipe. I can tell you the ice cream is smooth, blended without any chunks. It goes to say; they only use the highest quality ingredients when making the ice cream for these sandwiches.
HOW TO MAKE A PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICH
Even though we do not know exactly how the Masters ice cream sandwich is made, I think you will really enjoy how close this recipe is. They are easy to make and can be made in large batches and stored to serve at a big Masters viewing party.
HOW TO MAKE THE COOKIES FOR A PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICH
Christie Cookie Co, the makers of the Masters' ice cream sandwich, will not share their ingredients. However, when we make a copycat at home, there are some standards that Cristie Cookie Co. uses that we can use at home to make our cookies taste great. When making the recipe, be sure and follow these guidelines when buying your ingredients; it really does make a difference. Here are the ingredients choices in their own words.
- BUTTER: You'll never find butter blends or margarine in our cookies. We only use 100% pure butter. And because real better naturally contains a preservative, we don't ever add preservatives to our cookies.
- Non-GMO, high-protein flour is sourced from American farms.
- No Fake, bleached sugar. They only use pure cane sugar for both our white and brown sugars. No GMOs.
- Eggs from free-range chickens are fed nutritious corn and flaxseed meal, making the eggs they produce nutrient-rich.
- No fake or vanilla blend. Use the highest quality that is sourced from Madagascar Vanilla Beans.

HOW TO MAKE THE MASTERS COOKIES TIP
The Masters cookies used for their ice cream sandwich the perfect size to hold in one hand when the sandwich is assembled. I want a consistent size for my cookies, so I use a medium-sized cookie scoop, about 1 1/2 tablespoons, to scoop the dough for the cookies before baking them. After the cookies have baked and cooled, I pair them generally about the same size cookies. This makes it easier when you’re ready to assemble your sandwiches.

HOW TO MAKE THE PEACH ICE CREAM FOR A SANDWICH
- I suggest buying the very best peach ice cream you can purchase at your local grocery.
- Then buy freshly frozen peaches and heavy whipping cream.
- Allow the ice cream to thaw just a bit. Set it on your counter until you can easily place a knife in the center.
- Next, place the ice cream in a VitaMix blender or one similar. Add the frozen peaches and a bit of heavy whipping cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Line a quarter sheet baking pan with wax paper. Add the peach ice cream and smooth it out level with a spatula.
- Freeze this pan for at least 2 hours or overnight.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE A MASTERS ICE CREAM SANDWICH
- To ensure a clean-cut, rinse the cutter with cold water. Do this each time before you cut the ice cream.
- After pressing down your cookie cutter, put your free hand underneath the wax paper and push up from the bottom to e sure you have a clean cut.
- Put the cutter on the bottom of one of the cookies.
- Using a spoon, push the ice cream out of the cutter onto the cookie bottom.
- Place the other cookie on top to make the homemade ice cream sandwich.

Nutrition
I used my own peach ice-cream recipe (completely from scratch) but the cookie recipe is absolutely fantastic! Did exactly according to the recipe, only modification was chilling the dough in the fridge overnight and letting it sit in room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes while preheating the oven. Did that for two reasons: my kitchen was warm and the dough looked a bit too soft, and I was getting sleepy (made the dough at 10 pm) and decided to tackle the baking part the following day. The cookies came out great; and the small amount of almond extract complimented the peach ice cream perfectly! This recipe is definitely a keeper!!
Wow, thank you for the review! When I created this cookie recipe I too was amazed at how good it was. I now am using it as the base for chocolate chip cookies and such. I think chilling it was a good idea, mine was sticky too but it was cool in the house when I made them. I will defiantly have to chill the dough a bit in GA summer heat. :)
