Are there times when you want a dessert that everyone will enjoy, don’t have a lot of time but want to make something from scratch? Then, these Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies are your answer. Baking cookies is really so easy. Cookies really do not have too many ingredients. Mix the ingredients in your stand mixer, add chips and bake. You can really create the cookies pretty darn quickly. Now, elevate the cookie and the fun by making it into a sandwich cookie and everyone will be smiling.
This may be one of the biggest crowd favorites I have created and posted. Who doesn’t like Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies? Kids and adults alike love sandwich cookies. These cookies I made were jumbo. Hence, these Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies are big. They were so big, that we cut them in half to eat them. The fun thing about putting these sandwiches together was to use different ice creams. I made both a chocolate chip cookie and a double chocolate chip cookie.
Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
The key to all good recipes is to have each component be good by itself. These cookies were just that. There texture was firm yet still maintained the softness you want from a cookie. Each cookie was great on its own. I managed to set some of the cookies aside and did not use them all for the ice cream sandwich cookies. No one needs to know that.
What is your favorite childhood memory for a dessert? We may all have a lot of different memories including my mom’s brownies and chocolate sheet cake but I think every kid would reach for an ice cream sandwich if offered. So now you have a good recipe to bring back that childhood memory.
