Patriotic Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 ounce tube sugar cookie dough (or your favorite soft sugar cookie dough recipe)
- 1/2 cup red, white, and blue mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place cookie dough in a medium mixing bowl. Allow the dough to sit out on the counter for 10 minutes to make stirring easier.
- Pour chocolate chips into the cookie dough and stir them in evenly.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto a nonstick sheet pan, staggering them so they will not spread into each other.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until they are just golden around the edges. (Watch them carefully and do not over-bake.)
- Allow the cookies to cool completely, then transfer to the the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Let the ice cream sit out for 5 or so minutes to soften just enough to make scooping and pressing easier.
- Flip half of the cookies over. Scoop about 1/4 cup of ice cream onto the flipped cookies. Top the ice cream with the additional cookies and gently press down until the ice cream reaches the edge.
- Pour the sprinkles into a bowl or on a plate. Roll the cookie edges into the sprinkles until all sides are covered.
- Place assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer to harden and set fully. Then, individually wrap them in plastic wrap and place back into the freezer until ready to serve.
