Instructions
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of the butter.
Add the oats and cook until golden, about 5 minutes.
Spread on a baking sheet to cool. Using an electric mixer on high, beat the remaining butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Reduce to low and slowly add the flour. Stir in the oats. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 F. Form 16 to 20 large cookies, using about 1/4 cup of dough for each.
Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly using the tines of a fork.
Bake until golden but not quite set, about 20 minutes.
Let cool on the sheets for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a rack to finish cooling. Sandwich about 1/3 cup of the ice cream between 2 cookies.
Serve immediately, or wrap in plastic and freeze.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Ice Cream works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
