Step 1
Classic Chocolate Cookies
Makes: about 2 dozen cookiesPreheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Stir in the milk, vinegar, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix thoroughly.
-
Step 3
Turn out onto the prepared baking sheet. Place a sheet of waxed paper over the dough and roll out into a square about 1⁄4 inch thick. Remove the waxed paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and it’s slightly puffy. It will seem soft and not fully baked, but it is.
-
Step 4
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes on the baking sheet on a wire rack. Carefully cut the cookies into the desired shape. You can use a glass or biscuit cutter to make them round, or maximize the dough by cutting them into evenly sized squares.

Step 5
Remove the cookies from the sheet and allow to finish cooling on the rack.

Step 6
Vanilla Soy Ice Cream
Makes: 1 1⁄4 quartsIn a large saucepan, combine the sugar and tapioca starch and whisk until incorporated. Pour in the milk, whisking to incorporate. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the coconut oil and vanilla, and mix to combine.

Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a heat-resistant bowl and let it cool completely. 8 Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

Step 9
To Make the Sandwiches
Let the ice cream soften slightly so it’s easy to scoop. Place half of the cookies, bottoms up, on a clean surface. Scoop one generous scoop of ice cream, about 1⁄3 cup, onto the top of each cookie. Top the ice cream with the remaining cookies, with the cookie bottoms touching the ice cream. Gently press down on the cookies to level them. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or waxed paper and return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.
