Double Chocolate Orange Ice-Cream Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

17.5 oz package double or regular chocolate-chip cookie mix
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
2 tsp finely grated orange zest
3 oz package orange-flavored powdered gelatin
8 None scoops vanilla ice-cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a bowl, stir together cookie mix, oil, eggs, and zest until combined. Roll tablespoons of mixture into 16 balls. Place on prepared trays; flatten slightly.
Bake for 12 minutes (don't overcook or cookies will be too crisp). Let cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Combine gelatin and 1 cup boiling water in a medium heatproof bowl; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in 3/4 cup cold water. Pour into a 11 x 7-inch pan. Chill for 2 hours or until set.
Using a 2 1/2-inch pastry cutter, cut 8 rounds from gelatin. Place a scoop of ice-cream on the flat side of 8 cookies. Smooth slightly to form a flat surface. Top each with a jelly round. Sandwich with remaining cookies. Serve immediately.
