Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I make these in the summer for my grandsons. They love them because the "cookie" is not all soggy like the store-bought ones.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Present these homemade ice cream sandwiches to your family and watch them disappear. The chocolate cookie has crisp outer edges and a chewy center. It holds up when softened ice cream is sandwiched in between. Fill with your family's favorite ice cream and toppings. We used vanilla and chocolate cookie ice cream with a combination of chocolate chips, mint candies, crushed chocolate cookies, and cereal. Once wrapped, we used a permanent pen to write down the flavor combination and enjoyed snacking on them all week.

How To Make homemade ice cream sandwiches

  • In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar.
    1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract.
    2
    Add eggs and vanilla extract.
  • mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend into butter and sugar.
    3
    In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend into the wet ingredients.
  • Drop batter by tablespoons onto the sheet.
    4
    Spray a cookie sheet and drop batter by tablespoons onto the sheet. I use at least 1 oz. dipper to make a large cookie.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
    5
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Don't overbake and make them too crisp. While the cookies are baking, soften your favorite ice cream.
  • Add a scoop of the slightly softened ice cream to a cookie. Press another on top to form a sandwich.
    6
    When the cookies are cool, add a scoop of the slightly softened ice cream to a cookie. Press another on top to form a sandwich.
  • Wrap each in plastic wrap or foil.
    7
    Wrap each in plastic wrap or foil. Put all in one container or freezer bag and freeze. As I go I freeze each one to ensure they don't melt before all are made.
  • Roll the edges in toppings.
    8
    These are great with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips as well or crushed peppermint candy.
