Sprinkles, Mini M&Ms, Chocolate Chips, Raisins, Chopped Nuts, etc.
Instructions
Assembling
Soften the vanilla ice cream.
Spread about a 1/2 - 1 inch layer of ice cream on top of a chocolate chip cookie all the way to the edges.
Place another cookie on top of the ice cream. Be sure to align the cookies so that your ice cream sandwich is not crooked!
Carefully push the chocolate chip cookies together so that the cookies are secure and the ice cream is evenly distributed between the two cookies.
To remove any excess ice cream, run a dull knife along the edge of the cookies and ice cream. Add more ice cream where needed.
Decorating
After assembling your cookie sandwiches, allow the ice cream to harden for at least several minutes in the freezer.
Decorate the ice cream middle by placing some goodies along the edge of the ice cream: sprinkles, mini M&Ms, small gum drops, chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts, etc.
Place each sandwich back into the freezer after decorating the ice cream.
