Cook Time: 0 Minutes
Additional Time: 20-30 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
Half Gallon Vanilla Ice Cream
16 Store-bought MnM’s cookies ( you can also use chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, or peanut butter cookies – you just need cookies that are sturdy enough to hold the weight of the ice cream)
Mini chocolate chips
Coconut flakes
Sliced almonds
Walnut pieces
Sprinkles
Any other small “toppings” that you could use around the edges of the ice cream sandwiches.

PRO TIP: Place the cookies in the freezer before making the ice cream sandwiches. Having them nice and cold will help prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
Put your toppings into individual bowls.
Turn a cookie upside-down and put a scoop of ice cream onto it.
Place another cookie on top, right-side-up, pressing gently.
Use a knife or icing spatula to even out any ice cream that has come out of the sandwich.
Roll into the topping of your choice. If you are having trouble getting it to stick. you can use a spoon or your fingers to press the topping onto the ice cream.
Place the finished ice cream sandwich on a cookie sheet covered with a piece of parchment paper. Put in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to harden.
Store by wrapping each ice cream sandwich in a piece of parchment paper and place in a gallon freezer storage bag.
These ice cream sandwiches will keep for a few weeks in your freezer.
When you are ready to have one, place it on a plate at room temperature for a few minutes before eating, as the cookies will be hard.
