Ingredients

8 chocolate chip cookies (we prefer Tate's Bake Shop Soft Baked for this recipe)
1 cup ice cream (any flavor), or more as needed
4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Allow the ice cream to sit on the counter and become soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. You want it easily scoopable, but still slightly firm. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup). Place the cookies upside down on the pan. Place the chocolate chips or sprinkles in a shallow bowl.
Scoop about a heaping ¼ cup of ice cream onto each of 4 cookies. I use a cookie dough scoop or ice cream scoop for this step. If your cookies are larger, you might need more ice cream. Add the remaining cookies on top to create sandwiches, gently pressing down so that the ice cream spreads to the edges.
Roll the edges of each ice cream sandwich in the chocolate chips or sprinkles, 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. Once firm, wrap the sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

Notes

Use any flavor ice cream that your family loves. We typically opt for vanilla or cookies and cream, but cake batter ice cream is also a personal favorite. Try strawberry ice cream or butter pecan ice cream, too!

You can also experiment with different flavors of cookies. Try sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, or oatmeal raisin cookies.
