There’s nothing better than a good ice cream sandwich.  It’s double the pleasure when you get to eat cookies and ice cream at the same time, right? The best part is enjoying them in the summer when it’s so incredibly hot outside.  Reach into your freezer and take out a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich to enjoy, and know that it’s not “store bought” and you made it yourself (so much better!)

How to make Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches:

Making these Ice Cream Sandwiches is a two-step process (so worth it in the end!) First you’ll bake the chocolate chip cookies.  You’re going to make them more miniature than you normally make chocolate chip cookies because these are “mini” ice cream sandwiches.  It’s better this way (trust me) because a mini ice cream sandwich is going to be completely satisfying.  You don’t need a giant one! Next, you’ll put your freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on a baking sheet and put that in the freezer to get them nice and cold. Then you’ll take softened vanilla ice cream and put a couple of spoonfuls between two frozen cookies to make a sandwich, edge the sandwich in chocolate chips, and then put it onto the cold baking sheet and back into the freezer to freeze until solid.  Once solid, you can wrap each ice cream sandwich individually to keep in your freezer.

How long do Ice Cream Sandwiches last in the freezer?

These Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches will stay nice and fresh in your freezer for up to two weeks.  Just take a sandwich out when the craving strikes.  Or serve them all at once at a party.  After two weeks, they may start to get a little bit freezer-burned… as things in the freezer usually do.

My (true) Chipwich Story:

When I was in college in San Diego, I worked a Chipwich Ice cream Sandwich cart at concerts and other events as a little side-job to earn some extra cash.  I was paid minimum wage to work the cart, but I made commission if I reached a certain dollar amount of sales in one day. It was awesome on hot days– I was able to sell a lot of ice cream sandwiches.  But on cooler days, I found myself lonely and not making much money! I saw a lot of concerts, and I met a lot of cute boys 🙂 And I totally fell in love with chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches!  That’s my story.

These are like a mini version of the Chipwich Ice Cream Sandwiches.  They’re a totally satisfying ice cream treat, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
