Ice cream cookie sandwiches are fun, quick, and easy to make. Because they can use most cookie types in most shapes, they are also a staple ice cream sandwich recipe that so many cookie-creators know. This article will teach you how to make that recipe.
Ingredients
- Cookie mixes of your choice (including the most-common Chocolate Chip Cookie), made based on traditional package directions (You will need to budget 2 cookies for every 1 sandwich set.)
- Ice cream
Steps
-
Prepare your cookies . Although most places that serve these ice cream sandwiches use chocolate chip cookies, if you have additional nutritional requirements you may use your preferred cookie type instead, as long as it has no additional filling inside and it is sturdy enough to hold a larger topping size instead. You will also want a chewy cookie rather than a hard one, but avoid any that may seem stale or coming close to their "use by" date.
-
Provide time for your cookies to cool. Try to avoid scooping the ice cream out onto extra-warm cookies. Extra warm cookies directly from the oven aren't fun to eat, as the warmth from the cookie tends to help melt the ice cream, meaning it won't be thick at all after the first half-hour.Advertisement
-
Prepare your ice cream filling. The traditional ice cream used in ice cream cookie sandwiches is generally vanilla ice cream but it typically isn't shaped like the traditional round ball most ice cream is served as. Instead, the ice cream more or less has a flat top. These "balls" are still round though, so they shape only into the borders of the traditionally-round cookies.
- The ice cream used will be quite thick but equally portioned from its outside edge to center and opposite end - creating the radii effect of the shape of the cookie so that the cookies form the base and top of the ice cream.
-
Scoop the ice cream onto the cookie. Prepare a plate with your cookies, placing the first cookie down with the bottom side of the cookie facing upwards. Scoop the ice cream out and onto the cookie, based on the ice cream use description above. -
Place the top cookie over top of the ice cream. This cookie should be placed down so that the bottom is placed flatly directly on top of the ice cream, without squishing the ice cream.
-
Eat the ice cream cookie sandwich. When you bite into it, make sure you get both cookies and ice cream into your mouth, but not so much that you begin choking if the cookies are wide enough not to allow them fit into your mouth.
-
Store additional ice cream sandwiches inside plastic or Ziploc baggies in the freezer. They may be kept in the freezer for up to 7 days. however, this time will vary based on the amount of that freezer's use.
- Very few people let them settle in the fridge for even that long and are based on the expiration date of the ice cream as shown on the container.
