Yesterday on a whim I decided to attempt making homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches to share with friends. I had already baked the cookies the night before, but with a forecast of 101, I felt like we needed a little cool factor too. I searched online for directions and the first I found talked about melting the ice cream, mixing in sprinkles, refreezing for 6 hours … wait – 6 hours? I had maybe 30 minutes. Scratch that idea. So, here’s my quick and easy method …
Pull out the ice cream and let it sit on the counter a few minutes to begin softening. Arrange cookie pairs on plate. Use a knife to thinly slice some ice cream and place it on the bottom of one cookie. Add as much as desired. 🙂 Place the second cookie on top. Press gently to stick it all together. Wrap each sandwich in wax paper. Return to freezer to harden. (Unless you want one immediately – in which case, dig in!) Then when you are ready to enjoy, you can pull out one sandwich, unwrap and eat. Enjoy!
