Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked quick oats or old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup raisins

For the Ice Cream Base

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 414 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a nonstick tray.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy.
  • Add the egg and mix briefly until blended, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix just until a smooth dough forms.
  • Fold in the oats and raisins so they are evenly spread through the mixture.
  • Scoop the dough in about 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  • Let the cookies rest on the tray for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Ice Cream

  • In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and half-and-half until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth.
  • Break the cooled cookies into small chunks, about 1 inch in size, and fold them into the ice cream base.
  • Spread the mixture into an 8 x 8-inch pan or a similar freezer-safe container.
  • Freeze uncovered for 3 to 5 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  • Cover leftovers with foil or plastic wrap and keep frozen for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Serve with a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for added flavor. Ice cream sandwiches made with this ice cream and oatmeal cookies are a fantastic treat.
