Dessert tips:
When making this yummy sweet treat, I came up with the best hacks to create a fantastic chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.
- Use a different type of cookie. This recipe teaches you how to make chocolate chip cookies, but you can easily make any other type of cookie you like. For example, I’ve made peanut butter cookie ice cream sandwiches before, and it was delicious! Oatmeal and double chocolate fudge also sound super yummy.
- Soft or crispy? If you want your cookie to be softer, underbake it by a minute or two. If you want it to be crispy, bake it for the total amount of time.
- Add some toppings. Looking to take your cookie sandwich to the next level? Try adding some sprinkles or chopped nuts to the ice cream before you sandwich the cookies together. I rolled on some extra mini chocolate chips for this ice cream sandwich.
- Not a fan of vanilla ice cream? No problem! You can use any ice cream you want for this cookie sandwich. Chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip…the possibilities are endless!
- Save it for later! If you don’t plan to eat a cookie ice cream sandwich in the moment (I’m personally more of a “eat it while the cookie is still warm” kind of girl), you can store it in the freezer for later! Wrap the cookie sandwich in a plastic food wrap or freezer-friendly sandwich bag. It can stay frozen for up to a month.
I hope you enjoy this ice cream dessert! If you love this recipe and want to learn how to make other fun recipes, follow me on TikTok and save some of my cooking videos.
