Ingredients

  • 8 Chocolate Chip Cookies (we prefer Tate’s Bake Shop brand)
  • 1 cup ice cream, or more as needed (try Heath or vanilla flavor)
  • 4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Allow the ice cream to sit on the counter and become soft (about 5-10 minutes). You want it easily scoopable, but still slightly firm.
  2. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup) and place the cookies upside down on the sheet. Place chocolate chips in a shallow bowl.
  3. Scoop about a heaping ¼ cup of ice cream onto each of 4 cookies. Add the remaining cookies on top to create sandwiches, gently pressing down so that the ice cream spreads to the edges.
  4. Roll the edges of each ice cream sandwich in the chocolate chips, using your fingers to press some into the ice cream if necessary. Place the sandwiches back on the baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the ice cream is firm again.
  5. Once firm, wrap the sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed on the same day, but will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Allow the ice cream to get soft enough to scoop and smoosh, but not too soft (or it will be a runny mess). Five to ten minutes at room temperature should be about right!
  • I like to use a cookie dough scoop or ice cream scoop like this one, which has a loaded lever design to easily place about a heaping ¼-cup of ice cream on top of each cookie. If your cookies are larger, you may need more ice cream.
  • Once assembled, the cookies will need to go back in the freezer to firm up again. Allow at least 1 hour of chilling time. These are a great make-ahead dessert for summer cookouts, parties, or family gatherings.
  • This recipe yields 4 ice cream sandwiches. You can scale the ingredients up or down to make as few or as many as you need. Double the recipe for 8 sandwiches, or cut the ingredients in half and make just 2 sandwiches. Again, it's flexible!
