Ingredients

Steps

  • 1

    Heat oven to 375°F.

    For easy cleanup, line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  • 2
    Make cookie dough as directed on pouch, using butter and egg.
  • 3

    Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

    For easy cleanup, line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

    You want the cookies to have plenty of space so they don’t bump into each other as they spread.

  • 4
    Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
  • 5
    Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 6

    For each ice cream sandwich, place 1 scoop of ice cream (about 1/3 cup) between 2 cookies.

    For best results, ice cream should be slightly softened when assembling the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. However, you’ll want to work quickly to make sure the ice cream doesn’t start to melt too much.

  • 7
    Gently press cookies together (ice cream should spread to edge of cookies).
  • 8

    Roll ice cream edges in sprinkles.

    Place sprinkles or mini chocolate chips in a pie plate or on a dinner plate for easy rolling.

    Transfer the ice cream cookie sandwich to a cookie sheet in the freezer as you make them — so they don’t melt while you make the remaining sandwiches.

  • 9
    Eat immediately, OR to save for later, wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. Place in resealable freezer bag, and freeze until needed.

  • For homemade ice cream sandwiches, use any flavor of Betty Crocker™ Cookie Mix instead of the chocolate chip cookie mix.
  • Drizzle a little ice cream topping between the cookies and ice cream for more indulgent Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
  • How do I soften ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches? - If your ice cream is too hard, you might break a cookie trying to press your ice cream sandwiches together. You can soften ice cream and make it easier to work with by letting it stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Of course there is a balance, you will want to work quickly: don’t let that ice cream get too melty.
