Instructions
- Prepare the cookies: Arrange half of the cookies flat-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Add the ice cream: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of softened vanilla ice cream onto each cookie and gently flatten it slightly.
- Make the sandwiches: Top with the remaining cookies and press gently until the ice cream reaches the edges.
- Decorate: Roll the exposed ice cream edges in red, white, and blue sprinkles or your favorite toppings such as mini chocolate chips, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, chopped peanuts, or colored sanding sugar.
- Freeze: Place the sandwiches on the tray and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Try these fun variations: use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, swap cookies for brownies, dip half the sandwich in melted white chocolate, use colorful patriotic candies around the edges, or make them with oatmeal cookies for a homemade twist. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
