What are the best cookies for ice cream cookie sandwiches?
In the Betty Crocker Kitchens, we used Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix for our homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches, but you can really use any Betty Crocker™ Cookie Mix. In fact, if you’re making the ice cream sandwiches for a celebration, it might be fun to bake up a few different cookie mixes — you can mix and match ice creams, too.
