Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cookie dough following package instructions.

Reserve one cup of dough. Roll out remaining dough on a floured surface 1/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut dough. Divide reserved dough into thirds; tint with food coloring as desired. Form colored dough into small balls and ropes and arrange on half the cookies.

Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool on baking sheets one minute; remove cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Position plain cookie on bottom, spread with ice cream and top with decorated cookie. Gently press together; freeze on a baking sheet until serving time.

If desired, mix a few drops of green food coloring and coconut; let dry on wax paper. Fill a platter or ramekins with coconut. Arrange sandwiches on top.

Makes about one dozen.
