Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie dough
- 1 pint ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookie dough from sticking.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough into equal-sized balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for spreading.
- Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a soft cookie texture.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, take the pint of ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly. This will make it easier to scoop and spread between the cookies.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and place it on a clean surface. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, place a generous scoop of softened ice cream on top of the cookie.
- Take a second cookie and gently press it on top of the ice cream to create a sandwich. Be careful not to press too hard, or the ice cream may spill out the sides.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and ice cream until you have formed all 12 sandwiches.
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Roll the edges of each sandwich in the chocolate chip and sprinkle mixture to coat the sides.
- Once all sandwiches are assembled and coated, place them on a baking sheet and return them to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- After the sandwiches have set, they are ready to serve! Enjoy your delicious frozen dessert cookie sandwiches!
Tips
- Choose Your Ice Cream Wisely: Select your favorite ice cream flavor to customize your sandwiches. Classic vanilla, rich chocolate, or fruity options like strawberry can all elevate your dessert experience.
- Don’t Overbake the Cookies: For that perfect soft and chewy texture, keep an eye on your cookies while they bake. The centers should look slightly underbaked when you take them out of the oven.
- Soften the Ice Cream: Allow the ice cream to sit out for a few minutes before assembling the sandwiches. This makes it easier to scoop and spread without tearing the cookies.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative with the toppings! Try adding crushed nuts, mini marshmallows, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
- Freeze for Firmness: After assembling the sandwiches, freezing them for at least 30 minutes not only helps them hold their shape but also enhances the flavors.
- Serve with Style: For an appealing presentation, serve your frozen dessert cookie sandwiches on a colorful platter or wrap them in parchment paper for a fun, picnic-ready treat.
