Description
Cookie ice cream sandwiches are a nostalgic, refreshing dessert made by layering creamy ice cream between two chewy cookies. Easy to assemble and endlessly customizable, they’re perfect for summer parties or make-ahead treats.
Ingredients
- 16–20 homemade or store-bought cookies (e.g., chocolate chip, sugar, or double chocolate)
- 1 quart of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc.)
- Optional: mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts for coating
Instructions
- If using homemade cookies, bake and let them cool completely.
- Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
- Place a scoop of ice cream on the flat side of one cookie.
- Top with another cookie and gently press to spread the ice cream evenly to the edges.
- Roll the sides in desired toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts.
- Place finished sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
- Serve directly from the freezer and enjoy.
Notes
Chewy cookies work best for easy biting when frozen.Work quickly to prevent the ice cream from melting during assembly.Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic or parchment for better storage.Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if too firm.Try mixing cookie and ice cream flavors for variety.
