Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

By stancec44

This ice cream cookie sandwich recipe isn’t actually a recipe. It’s a reminder. You know, of summer and playfulness and the magic of indulging in ice cream for dinner. Consider yourself reminded. So go on. Be a kid again. The hardest part is deciding which cookie and ice cream combo you crave most. Peanut butter cookie and chocolate ice cream. Chocolate cookie and strawberry ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie and good old vanilla.

Ingredients

• Ice cream of your choice
• Your favorite cookies or brownies (that includes blondies and bars, by the way)
• Sprinkles, chocolate shavings, jimmies, chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, finely chopped candy bars, and so forth (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Here we go. Grab the ice cream of your choice from your freezer. If using cookies, scoop the ice cream onto your favorite cookie. Top with a second cookie.

If using brownies, slice each brownie in half to create a couple skinny brownies. Place a scoop of ice cream on the bottom half of the brownie and sandwich with the top half. Gently press the sandwich together to smoosh the ice cream between the cookies.

2. If you wish, roll the edges of each ice cream sandwich in sprinkles or chocolate shavings or jimmies.

3. Wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and stick ’em in the freezer for at least half an hour. (Yes, we know. Waiting is the hardest part.)

4. After half an hour, you can stop fidgeting and take an ice cream sandwich out of the freezer. Unwrap it and eat it right away. Don’t forget to do a dance or at least a sigh of appreciation.
