Ice cream sandwiches

Your sweetheart will be in love when you give him or her a batch of these delicious chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.   You can use any cookie recipe and ice cream flavor you fancy and best of all you can make them ahead of time and pop them in the freezer until your ready to devour them.  These will go fast, so be sure to make plenty.

My cousin gave me this 

Cuisipro ice- cream sandwich maker  years ago

 and I couldn't wait to use it.

(I've been a little busy)

I used the Toll House recipe for chocolate chip cookies

spread the entire batch on an ungreased cookie sheet

 and baked at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes

 or until scrumptious...ugh, I mean golden brown.

When still warm use the cutter side of your sandwich maker

and press down firmly and as close together as possible so

you don't waste too much of the cookie.

(You will have scrapes but don't throw them out...

I have use for them and will share in the following post)

 cool completely on a cookie sheet

Place one cookie cutout at the bottom of the sandwich maker

Add a large scoop of  softened ice cream. 

I used chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream

SINFUL!!

Place another cookie on top and press gently

with the top of the cuisipro to sandwich that baby together.

Remove bottom of sandwich maker and lift

the remaining portion of the cuisipro while pressing down

 on the top of the cookie to release

Oh my...this is getting good.

I have love in my heart and used heart sprinkles for a later Valentines Day dessert.

Wrap individually in saran wrap and freeze until ready to eat.

Oh, oh, oh... I have an idea!! 

How about pink strawberry ice cream and crushed candy hearts or a chocolate cookie with green mint chocolate chip and green sprinkles for St. Patty's day?  

The possiblities are endless!

Enjoy,
