Gluten Free Chocolate Sea Salt Ice Cream Sandwiches

Recently made this recipe for dessert at a Life Group BBQ. It was a hit! Enjoy. I found the originaly recipe on Pinterest. I've included a link to the original source. I doubled the entire recipe and made 8 very big ice cream sandwiches. It could probably be 10 sandwiches fairly easily. I made half with chocolate ice cream and half with vanilla. Obviously any kind would work. I doubled the flour amount (so quadrupled for a double recipe) and tripled the espresso (because I usually find I can't taste the coffee flavor in cookies, and because I used instant coffee instead of espresso too). The cookies are definitely yummy enough to use just as a typical cookie recipe, not just for ice cream sandwiches.

Here's the non-gluten free recipe. For Rachel's cookies we used Bette Hagmen's "Chocolate Surprise" cookies - minus the surprise part. Here's that recipe: 1 1/2 GF flour mix 3/4 t. xanthan gum 1/2 t. salt 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 c. suagar 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. margarine 1/4 c. creamy peanutbutter 1 t. vanilla 1 egg Bake at 375 for 9 minutes. I sprinkled them with a bit of coarse sea salt just like the "regular" cookies. If making the "surprise" cookies. 3/4 c. peanutbutter 3/4 c. powdered sugar Mix the filling. Make into balls and form the dough around the filling. Roll in granulated sugar.
