What are cookie ice cream sandwiches?
This popular summertime treat is really quite simple: just sandwich a scoop of cool, creamy ice cream between two cookies! In this Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches recipe, we use rich vanilla ice cream and two perfectly buttery, crispy chocolate chip cookies. It’s easy to make, thanks to Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix — the cookies bake up in no time. The best part: once you’ve created your chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, you can dip the edges in a rainbow of sprinkles to make it extra special. Keep a pouch or two of Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix on hand in your pantry so you can whip up a batch whenever the craving strikes!
