Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

My Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich adventure started when I accidentally bought way too many peaches at the farmer’s market last summer.

Standing in my kitchen with a counter full of perfectly ripe peaches and a freezer full of vanilla ice cream, I remembered those famous Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches from the Masters Tournament.

Instead of letting those beautiful peaches go to waste, I decided to recreate the magic at home. The result?

Pure summer bliss between two soft, chewy cookies that had my family asking for seconds before they even finished their first bite.

One Bite and You’ll Know Why I Love This Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

I can’t get enough of how perfectly balanced these treats are – the buttery sweetness of homemade sugar cookies paired with creamy, peachy goodness creates pure magic.

The soft texture means no hard bites or crumbling messes, just smooth, dreamy perfection in every bite.

While making these sandwiches, I often whip up my no-churn peach cobbler ice cream for an extra special twist that brings all those warm spice flavors.

If you want to go completely from scratch, my homemade peach ice cream recipe creates the most luxurious base you’ve ever tasted – it’s worth the extra effort when you have the time.

Ingredients You Need for Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

For the Soft Sugar Cookies:

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (I always use room temperature butter for the best texture)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (adds that gorgeous golden color)
• 1/4 cup clear corn syrup (the secret to keeping them soft!)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For Assembly:

• 1 gallon quality peach ice cream (I love Tillamook Peaches & Cream, but any creamy variety works)

The key to perfect Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches is using cookies that stay soft when frozen – that corn syrup is your best friend here!

How to Make Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

Making the Sugar Cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on medium speed until just combined – don’t overmix!
6. Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, portion the dough into even balls and place them 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
7. Gently press each ball with the bottom of a glass to about 1/4-inch thickness.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just set and lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
9. Cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.

Assembling Your Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich:

1. Let your peach ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for easier scooping.
2. Place a baking sheet in the freezer to chill.
3. Using a round ice cream scoop, place a generous scoop of peach ice cream on the flat side of one cookie.
4. Top with another cookie, flat side down, and gently press to create your sandwich.
5. Immediately place on the chilled baking sheet and return to the freezer.
6. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream, then freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

My Little Details That Make This Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich So Special

My secret weapon is that corn syrup – it keeps the cookies perfectly chewy even when frozen solid.

I always make sure my cookie dough balls are exactly the same size using a cookie scoop, and I never overbake them.

The cookies should look slightly underdone when you pull them out. For the ice cream, I work quickly and keep that baking sheet in the freezer between batches.

Room temperature peach ice cream scoops beautifully but firms up fast once assembled.

How long do Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches last in the freezer?

You can store these beauties in the freezer for up to one month when properly wrapped.

I wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn.

Can I use store-bought cookies instead of homemade?

While homemade cookies give you the best texture, you can absolutely use store-bought soft sugar cookies in a pinch.

Just make sure they’re the chewy kind – avoid anything too crispy or crumbly.

What’s the best way to wrap these for parties?

I love wrapping each sandwich in colorful wax paper and tying with a ribbon for a charming presentation. Clear cellophane bags work wonderfully too and keep them fresh while looking festive.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

Absolutely! These Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches are perfect make-ahead treats. Assemble them up to a week in advance and store in the freezer.

Just remember to let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for the perfect bite.

If you’re loving this recipe as much as I am, I’d be thrilled if you’d save it to your Pinterest boards! You can find more of my favorite treats and family recipes over on my Pinterest page.
