Description
Delight in these easy-to-make Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches combining the chewy goodness of chocolate chip cookies with creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for a refreshing treat that’s customizable with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 24 chocolate chip cookies (homemade or store-bought)
Ice Cream
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
Toppings (optional)
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Prep: Prepare the cookies if making from scratch and allow them to cool completely. Soften the ice cream slightly by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Place your choice of toppings in a shallow dish for easy rolling.
- Assemble cookie sandwiches: Lay one cookie on the counter with the flat side facing up and spoon about 1/3 cup of the softened ice cream onto it. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, and gently press them together so the ice cream spreads evenly to the edges.
- Roll in toppings: Immediately roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in your selected toppings such as mini chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles to coat the sides.
- Freeze: While these sandwiches can be enjoyed immediately (though a bit messy), for best results, individually wrap them and freeze for 2 to 3 hours to firm up perfectly.
Notes
- For sturdier sandwiches, consider using thicker, sturdier cookies like oatmeal or peanut butter.
- You can substitute vanilla ice cream with any other favorite flavor for variety.
- To avoid soggy cookies, ensure they are completely cooled before assembling.
- Wrap sandwiches individually when freezing to prevent freezer burn and for easy serving.
- Adjust topping quantities according to preference or skip entirely for a simpler option.
