The following recipe is the second of four finalists in our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest, which challenged Turkey Hill fans to submit recipes using our two seasonal ice cream flavors, Peppermint Stick and Egg Nog. The other finalists will be posted on the Ice Cream Journal this week and voting for the winner will begin on Thursday, with the winner receiving a one year’s supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream. The other three finalists will all receive a one month supply of ice cream. Congrats to them, and enjoy the recipes!
This minty recipe was submitted by Tracy D. of Osceola, PA. The beauty and deliciousness of this recipe lies in its simplicity and fun. Kids and adults alike will have a good time decorating the cookies after they’ve been completed. We used white icing, but feel free to use as many colors as you’d like!
INGREDIENTS
Turkey Hill Peppermint Stick Limited Edition Premium Ice cream
6 crushed candy canes
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Popsicle Sticks(optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Crush Candy Canes into very small pieces and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar making it smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for minimum of one hour (or overnight).
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out chilled dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with your choice of Christmas cookie cutter, making shapes in pairs (to be used to sandwich ice cream later). Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet approximately one inch apart.
4. Bake 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely.
5. After cookies are cooled, choose two of the exact same cookies and spread Turkey Hill Peppermint Stick ice cream onto one cookie, making it approximately 1 inch thick. Some molding of ice cream with fingers may be necessary to make outer edge of ice cream match the shape of the cookie.
6. Place same cookie shape on top of ice cream forming a cookie sandwich.
7. Roll or sprinkle outer ice cream edge in crushed candy canes.
8. Store in freezer until ready to enjoy!

Mmmmm….Refreshingly yummy! Great recipe!
How about a Turkey Hill recipe book including all the winning recipes. Congratulations to the winners, very creative. Good work!
This ice cream is delicious with the sandwich cookies, I just made a batch and I’m in love.
I like your ice cream – but I do not like that very often when I go to pick a flavor – especially when your brand is on sale – that the flavor that I like is not there – Dutch Chocolate -
Since Peppermint Stick is one of my favorites, this would be delicious!!!!!!
This sounds delicious! Peppermint is my favorite flavor, this time of year
Peppermint is my favorite flavor, this time of year
Now doesn’t that look yummy….
Wow that looks delicious can’t wait to try it. It looks like fun to make too! The kids will enjoy it!
Up all night again. Made this with Philly style chocolate and peppermint. Niece said it reminded her of peppermint patty. Hehe I see someone took up my suggestion of a recipe/ cookbook. Hint hint. Can’t wait for next recipe!
Oh if crushed peppermint is too much mint, use wintergreen mint. Also I cheated on the pies. I made 2. One got the 8 hr fridge treatment the other got a quick 1 hr in freezer then fridge for quick set. I used oreo crumbs for crust and sprinkled some on top. I hope my calendar gets here soon!
I have made this recipe with cookies in candy cane shapes and they are always a hit at the party. Another delicious Turkey Hill recipe!
not sure I would like the crushed candy canes on the side.
YUM….I must try them!!
This looks really good. Very festive.
Sounds delicious and refreshing, very minty.
I am making these cookies for a holiday party this weekend! Perfect timing!
I make the same ice cream sandwiches using waffles instead of cookies. Easier to bite and they don’t crumble. Will try them with peppermint ice cream.
I love ice cream sandwiches and this is one I must try. Chocolate cookies would be wonderful with it.
hello to all what a nice suprise I got my turkey hill calendar today~~~
These cookies look so good. I imagine a chocolate cookie would make a good sandwich too.
sounds so good whats not to like ice cream and cookies and candy canes YUM!
MERRY HO.HO TO THE WINNERS,BUT WE ARE WINNERS WITH TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM.
I have always liked eating cookies with my ice cream. This is a switch – eating ice cream with your cookies. it is indeed like an ice cream sandwich. But with the seasonal Turkey Hill Peppermint Stick it makes it even better.
Another great recipe! Congratulations to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!!! And thank you for the calendar!
What a great new twist on ice cream sandwiches. They sound yummy!
I have been making cookies like these all the time, only I don’t shape the cookie I drop them like for Whoopie pies, then spread the ice cream on one top with another and freeze. Delicious. Linda
yummy!!! Made them this evening
very festive and yummy looking
I have always loved peppermint icecream. these cookies are the best of both worlds! I woould dip them in hot cocoa. mmmmm
Ooohhhh, sounds fabulous! I am such a big Peppermint stick ice cream fan. I can’t believe I didn’t think to use it with cookies before. Good luck in the contest.
My goodness! If this has peppermint Turkey Hill in it it has to be even better than the first entry!
This brings back memories of days of old with a slice of ice cream between two waffles. This looks great and would be a real treat to eat!
I love Ice cream sandwichs and even though this will take some work it’s different and can be done by myself or with family.
Peppermint stick ice cream is the start of the Christmas season. It is the taste of the holidays and just when you think it can’t get any better along came the ice cream sandwich using the traditional flavor to the optimum. The taste and flavor of Christmas is very special and will continue for years to come hopefully.
I still like a little chocolate with my mints.
Great ice cream snack to have while watching Monday Night Football.
I WONDER HOW THEY WOULD TASTE WITH GINGERMAN COOKIES.
This is the kind of sandwich I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What fun little sandwich cookies to serve at a party.
I will be serving these delicious cookies for desert on Christmas day. They are great!
nice treat ,special for a holiday
