Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches I
This is a really tasty treat. First bake some cookies, I like chocolate chip cookies. I ususally make them a little on the large side so I have big ice cream sandwiches but smaller cookies work also.
Once the cookies are done and have cooled, take a scoop of your favorite ice cream and sandwich it between two homemade cookies. If you are using large cookies, a full scoop is usually just about right. For smaller cookies you won't need quite that much. A little trial and error and you will have the portions down.
These are fantastic! You can try so many different cookie and ice cream combinations. You can make some up ahead of time and store them in plastic bags in the freezer.
Tip: Run the ice cream scoop under hot water before scooping the ice cream. This makes the ice cream a little softer and helps make the sandwich without breaking the cookie.
Enjoy!

Place a scoop of your favorite ice cream to fit the size of a purchased chocolate chip cookie on one whole cookie. Cover with a second cookie, squeezing gently to hold cookie in place. Eat right away or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to one week. Great summer treat!
