Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
1 – 48 ounce container of vanilla ice cream or your favorite flavor
Bake the cookies without rolling in the sprinkles.
The day before, line a 9” square pan with plastic wrap.
Let the ice cream sit on the counter for 10 minutes to soften.
Spread the ice cream in an even layer in the pan and cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer overnight.
Place the sprinkles in a flat dish or a pan with a rim.
After the cookies are cooled remove the ice cream from the freezer and remove from the pan. Remove the plastic on top and using a round cutter the same size as you cookies cup out circles of ice cream.
Sandwich the ice cream disc between 2 cookies and roll the ice cream sides in the sprinkles.
Place the completed sandwiches in a container and place in the freezer until ready to serve.
