Description

Indulge in the ultimate frozen treat with these Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Chewy chocolate chip cookies embrace smooth vanilla ice cream, creating a classic combo that’s perfect for summer parties, kid-friendly desserts, or a sweet snack any time. Roll the edges in extra mini chocolate chips for a delightful crunchy finish. This easy, make-ahead dessert is a freezer favorite all year round!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies

  • 24 chocolate chip cookies (homemade or store-bought)

For the Filling

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream (or chocolate chip ice cream), slightly softened

For Coating the Edges (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Soften the Ice Cream. Let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop and spread.
  2. Arrange Cookie Bases. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay half of the chocolate chip cookies bottom-side up; these will be the bases for your sandwiches.
  3. Add Ice Cream Filling. Scoop about 1/4 cup of slightly softened ice cream onto the center of each cookie base, spreading gently to the edges.
  4. Top and Press. Place another cookie on top of each mound of ice cream, pressing down gently to create a sandwich without breaking the cookies.
  5. Coat the Edges (Optional). If you like extra crunch and chocolate, roll the edges of each sandwich in mini chocolate chips to coat the exposed ice cream.
  6. Freeze Until Firm. Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches back on the lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1–2 hours, or until the sandwiches are firm enough to handle.
  7. Store or Serve. Once frozen solid, transfer sandwiches to an airtight container and keep in the freezer for up to 1 week, or serve immediately for a freshly made treat.

Notes

  • Letting the ice cream soften properly makes assembling easier and prevents broken cookies.
  • Experiment with different ice cream flavors, like chocolate or cookies & cream, for variety.
  • Allow sandwiches to soften for a couple of minutes at room temperature before eating for the best creamy texture.
  • Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap for grab-and-go treats or easy party serving.
  • Use gluten-free cookies or dairy-free ice cream for dietary adaptations.
