Description
Delicious patriotic cookie ice cream sandwiches that are perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounce tube sugar cookie dough (or your favorite soft sugar cookie dough recipe)
- 1/2 cup red, white, and blue mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place cookie dough in a medium mixing bowl. Allow the dough to sit out on the counter for 10 minutes to make stirring easier.
- Pour chocolate chips into the cookie dough and stir them in evenly.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto a nonstick sheet pan, staggering them so they will not spread into each other.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until they are just golden around the edges. (Watch them carefully and do not over-bake.)
- Allow the cookies to cool completely, then transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Let the ice cream sit out for 5 or so minutes to soften just enough to make scooping and pressing easier.
- Flip half of the cookies over. Scoop about 1/4 cup of ice cream onto the flipped cookies. Top the ice cream with the additional cookies and gently press down until the ice cream reaches the edge.
- Pour the sprinkles into a bowl or on a plate. Roll the cookie edges into the sprinkles until all sides are covered.
- Place assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer to harden and set fully. Then, individually wrap them in plastic wrap and place back into the freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure not to over-bake the cookies to keep them soft for the sandwiches.
- Experiment with different flavors of ice cream for variety.
- These are great for summer holidays like Independence Day.
