Creating your Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches is a fun and simple process. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Add Sprinkles: Fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles into the dough.
7. Scoop Cookie Dough: Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare Ice Cream: While the cookies cool, allow the ice cream to soften slightly for easier scooping.
10. Assemble Sandwiches: Once cooled, take one cookie, add a scoop of your choice of ice cream, and top with another cookie. Gently press down to secure.
11. Freeze the Sandwiches: Place assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and pop them in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours to firm up.
