Candy Corn Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Yellow and orange paste food coloring
2-1/2 quarts orange sherbet
Halloween sprinkles

Directions

~In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

~Divide dough in half. Tint one portion yellow. Divide remaining dough into two-thirds and one-third portions. Color the larger portion orange; leave smaller portion white.

~Shape each portion of dough into two 8-in. logs. Flatten top and push sides in at a slight angle. Place orange logs on yellow logs; push the sides in at a slight angle. Top with white logs; form a rounded top. Wrap in plastic.

~Chill for four hours (or until firm).

~Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool for two minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

~Scoop 1/3 cup sherbet on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies; dip edges in sprinkles. Wrap in plastic. Freeze for at least one hour.

~Makes 2-1/2 dozen.
