Ingredients
Cookies
- Chocolate Chip Cookies, homemade or store-bought (2 per sandwich)
Ice Cream
- Vanilla Ice Cream (1 heaping scoop per sandwich)
Toppings
- Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles (for dipping edges)
Instructions
- Prepare Sprinkles: Place the red, white, and blue sprinkles in a shallow bowl and set aside for easy access.
- Soften Ice Cream: Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften just slightly, making it easier to scoop and spread.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place one heaping scoop of the softened ice cream onto the flat side of one chocolate chip cookie.
- Seal Sandwich: Add a second chocolate chip cookie on top, flat side down, and gently press down to seal the ice cream between the cookies, forming a sandwich.
- Smooth Edges: If the ice cream is too soft and squishes out, use a small spatula to scrape around the edges and smooth them for a neat appearance.
- Add Sprinkles: Dip the edges of the assembled ice cream sandwich into the bowl of sprinkles, coating the exposed ice cream with the festive colors.
- Freeze: Individually wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for a few hours until firm and ready to serve.
Notes
- Use slightly softened ice cream for easier spreading and better assembly.
- For a firmer sandwich faster, freeze assembled sandwiches for at least 2 hours.
- Substitute with any cookie or ice cream flavor of your choice for variety.
- Ensure cookies are flat side down to provide a stable base for the sandwich.
