Snickerdoodle Ice Cream 4

One my favorite cookies are these chewy cinnamon-sugar snickerdoodle cookies.

Anything cinnamon-sugar catches my attention.  Cinnamon sugar streusel over a French Toast Casserole. Churros, the quintessential carnival and Costco snack. Cinnamon sugar loaded coffee cake.  Cinnamon sugar topped bakery-style blueberry muffins.  And don’t forget pure Snickerdoodle Bread.

You catch my drift.  We love our snickerdoodle-y goodies around here.

Ice cream season is in full swing, and we’ve been hitting favorite ice cream shops as well as making our own favorites, like this Cookies ‘n Cream  creamy goodness.

But I’ve yet to find Snickerdoodle Ice Cream anywhere.

My sweet friend Melissa made this creamy snickerdoodle ice cream last holiday season, and it only took one bite for me to be completely smitten.

Snickerdoodle ice cream.  Seriously?  More, please.

After about three servings (they were small) I knew I had to go home and make a huge batch full of this dreamy ice cream loaded with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Suffice it to say I’ve made more than one batch of this luscious snickerdoodle ice cream by now.

One of the reasons I adore homemade ice cream is that you know exactly what is going into your ice cream. Nothing artificial, no chemicals, no food coloring.  Just pure and simple creamy goodness.

This particular snickerdoodle ice cream consists of just 6 ingredients.  It’s egg free, so no hassling with tempering of eggs.  The result is unbelievably delish and creamy, even without the eggs.

Here’s to a summer full of sunny days, kickin’ it in the breeze, running through the sprinklers, and eating loads of ice cream before it melts.

Enjoy!

We all scream for ice cream.  Especially our family favorite Mint Chocolate Chip.

My personal favorite is this Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream that serves to satisfy both my cookie monster and ice cream cravings:

If you want to turn homemade or store bought ice cream into something special, try this DQ-like ice cream cake complete with fudgy crunchies, just like at DQ!

    My husband is obsessed with the snickerdoodle cookie dough blizzard at DQ. So he was heart broken last weekend when we went to get one and they said it was seasonal and not available anymore. I’m going to try your recipe and and in some cookie dough chunks and see if that satisfies that craving for him!

      So excited for you guys to taste this, Lindsey! 🙂

    • KidBaker

    is it possible to make without ice cream maker?

    • Aibreàn

    Hello. I just came across this recipe and would live to give it a try except for two things. Can this be made without an ice cream maker as I don’t have one and secondly would coconut whipped cream work instead. Thank you.

    I made this four times in the last week. The first two exactly as the recipe calls. Someone commented that the vanilla extract would make the ice cream not freeze. I sort of had that problem. I got it to soft-serve consistency, which I have no problems with. The last two times I made it I used a vanilla bean paste which seems to work much better. I also crushed up some store bought shortbread cookies and sprinkled them in the ice cream maker in the last minute. You can’t even imagine how awesome it is. Like awesome enough that I might sell it at my daughter’s lemonade stand this summer. In summary, Great recipe, maybe switch to vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste.

      Yum, that sounds delish, Mae! So glad you guys enjoyed 🙂 Thanks for coming over today!

    • Mattie

    I was concerned when I saw how much vanilla extract was in this recipe, since the alcohol in extracts can make it so the mixture won’t freeze, but it sounded so good I decided to try it!

    As expected, I could not get it to set up no matter how long it churned. It was as runny after 45 minutes as it was when I began. I’ll have to try again without the vanilla or maybe using some vanilla beans, because the mixture tasted delicious!

      • chewoutloud

      So strange – sorry that happened. Were all your ingredients very cold to start with, and the ice cream maker bowl solidly frozen, straight from the freezer? The only time I’ve had an issue with any homemade ice cream was when my all materials weren’t solidly chilled. Also, be sure to turn your churner to “on” prior to pouring any ingredients in (manufacturer’s instructions.) If you pour any ingredients in the maker prior to turning it “on,” it won’t set up right. Happy to hear the mixture tasted delicious, and that you’re gonna give it another go! 🙂 Thanks for being here today, Mattie! 🙂

  • Share this post with a cookie lover! 🍪 These sugar cookies are HUGE and dangerously delicious! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/best-big-soft-sugar-cookies/) Ingredients: 6 cups all purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon table salt 1 cup whole sour cream 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 4 large eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon almond extract For the Frosting: 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 3 cups confectioners' sugar ½ tsp almond extract ½ tsp vanilla extract ⅛ tsp salt 2 TB milk Instructions: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, and almond extract until well combined. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the sour cream mixture until fully combined. The dough will be somewhat sticky. Cover the bowl, and chill the dough in the fridge for an hour or until it is firm enough to roll out. Lightly flour a working surface. Divide the chilled dough into quarters, and roll out one quarter at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the fridge until ready to use. Roll each quarter to ¼ inch thickness, and use a cookie cutter 2-inch in diameter to cut out circles. Preheat the oven to 250F, and position the rack on the lower middle position. Arrange the cookie dough on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden-pale color. Do not overbake! Cool on the cookie sheet 10-15 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the butter for 3-4 minutes or until it is light and fluffy. Add the sugar, and continue to whisk until well combined. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk on medium-high speed until fully incorporated. Add one tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. If desired, whisk in food coloring.

  • Save this post for your Christmas parties! 🎄 Just 3 ingredients make these buttery, moist and insanely delicious cookies! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/3-ingredient-buttery-shortbread-cookies/) Ingredients: 2 cups salted butter, cold and cut into pieces 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed 4 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided Optional: sprinkles to suit any occasion throughout the year Instructions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar. Using paddle attachment on medium-high speed, mix until fluffy and light, several minutes. Add only 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. On a large board, sprinkle 1/2 cup flour to keep dough from sticking to the board. Use rubber spatula to transfer dough to the board. Knead dough by hand for 5 minutes, adding only as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed to make a soft dough, while continuing to knead by hand. The dough should end up soft and pliable, similar to play-dough, not sticky. Work in desired amount of sprinkles, if using. Important Note: You may not end up using all the flour, depending on how your dough feels; it's important to stop adding flour as soon as your dough feels like soft play dough. Divide dough into thirds, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll and cut shapes. Meanwhile, reheat oven to 325F, with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside. Roll one-third of the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness – lightly flour board if needed. Either cut into 3×1 rectangular strips, triangles, or use cookie cutters (I like 1-2" cookie cutters, but feel free to use your favorites). Place each cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Poke cookies with fork on top for a design, if not using sprinkles. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. For smaller cookies, bake closer to 15 minutes; bake longer for larger shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough, working in batches so dough stays chilled and workable. Cool completely on wire rack before serving.
