Name: Praline Ice Cream Sandwiches
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 3 hr
Yield: Makes 24 sandwiches
Ingredients: 1 cup pecans (3 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1 cup sugar; 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature plus additional for greasing pan; 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 pt store-bought premium vanilla ice cream, softened; 2 (15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch) baking pans (3/4 inch deep; also called jelly roll pans); parchment paper; an offset metal spatula

Though they're the kind of thing you tell yourself you're making for kids, the way these sweet and slightly salty cookies go a little chewy when they absorb the ice cream will definitely inspire mature palates as well. This recipe is also delightfully devoid of fuss; you simply make one big sandwich and then cut it into small pieces.

Cooks' note:

Ice cream sandwich, wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil, can be frozen up to 1 week. Cut before serving.
