Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup mini rainbow candy coated chocolate chips
8 chocolate chip cookies

Instructions

Allow the ice cream to sit out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
Add mini rainbow candy coated chocolate chips to a shallow dish.
Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream onto the bottom side of one cookie and gently press a second cookie on top. Ensure the ice cream comes to the edge of the cookie so that the chocolate chips will stick to the ice cream.
Gently roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich into the chocolate chips until well coated. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Chill for at least one hour or longer, until the ice cream hardens.

Notes

Soften the ice cream slightly before assembling the sandwiches.

If you are using particularly soft cookies, use the back of a spoon to help push the ice cream to the edges of the cookie to help prevent breakage.

Roll the edges of the sandwiches in any toppings you like best. Rainbow sprinkles, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, and coconut are all great options.

Try adding mix-ins to your ice cream, like fruit, candy, or edible cookie dough. Transfer the softened ice cream to a large bowl and gently stir in the extras before assembling the sandwiches.

Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe and airtight container.

Placing the completed sandwiches on a cookie sheet allows for easy transport to and from the freezer.

Use soft and chewy cookies for easier sandwich assembly.

Consider using good quality vanilla ice cream and cookies for the best result.

This easy recipe is the perfect treat for special occasions. Cut out sugar cookies using your favorite seasonal cookie cutter to create ice cream cookie sandwiches for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, birthday parties, or any other theme.
