Childhood Dreams Do Come True With This Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

Customize these treats with your favorite flavor of ice cream

Remember those sticky-fingered days of enjoying store-bought ice cream sandwiches? This homemade ice cream sandwiches recipe with chocolate chip cookies lets you recapture that childhood nostalgia. And it tastes even better! This recipe uses freshly baked cookies (bonus points for coming straight from the oven). They’re paired with your favorite store-bought ice cream flavor to create a delicious and infinitely customizable dessert. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. Even beginner bakers can whip up a batch of these in no time. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

My favorite part about making this ice cream sandwiches recipe is getting creative with the cookie dough. And to prevent a melty mess, flash-freeze your cookies for about 15 minutes before assembling the ice cream sandwiches. This hardens the cookies so the sandwiches hold their shape.
