Who knew you could grill cookies on a panini press? Not only is it faster than baking in the oven, the cookies also come out extra crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside - perfect for building grilled ice cream sandwiches! Using ready-made cookie dough, you can enjoy this quick and easy, classic dessert treat any night of the week. Want to read about how this recipe was created? Check out “Yup, I Grilled Cookies!”
1 serving
2 uncooked refrigerated-dough cookies*
Ice cream
Sprinkles
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat panini grill to medium heat (325 degrees).
Place cookie dough on the grill, with at least 3 inches of space between them. Close the lid, ensuring the grates make direct contact with the cookie dough from both the top and bottom. Grill cookies for 7-8 minutes until crisp and golden on the bottom. Remove cookies from the
grill.
Place a scoop of ice cream on top of one cookie. Top with the other cookie, bottom side up. Press down gently to secure the sandwich. Scatter sprinkles along the sides of the ice cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
* If you prefer to use homemade cookie dough, form each cookie into balls, flatten into approx. 1/2″ thick discs and chill for several hours prior to grilling.

This is genius! I love your blog. So fun!
Thanks so much! I love writing it!
Um, Yum! I don’t have a panini press, but do you think the George Foreman grill would work? I have some cookie dough ready to go! So happy to have found your site on Cookie Madness.
Hi Kevin & Katrina - thanks for stopping by! Your Foreman grill might actually work all right for this, if you’ve got one of the models that allow you to set the temperature. I’d love to hear how you fare!
Wow! This is an amazing idea and one I would have never thought of. I am thinking of paninis in an entire new light.
