Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

(makes 6 servings plus cookies leftover)

1 1/2 cups (234 g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (60 g) unbleached flour
1/2 tablespoon (7,5 ml) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ( 2.5 ml) baking soda
1 teaspoon one-to-one sugar substitute
2 1/2 tablespoons (37.5 ml) frozen peach or pear juice concentrate, defrosted
1/2 cup (120 g) reduced-fat stick margarine, melted
butter-flavored refrigerated cooking spray
3 cups (580 g) fat-free, sugar-free vanilla ice cream
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) , Gas Mark 5.
  2. In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sugar substitute. Add the defrosted fruit juice and margarine. Mix well.
  3. Drop by teaspoons onto a nonstick cookie sheet lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Let sit on baking sheet for a few minutes until you transfer them to a rack to cool.
