How to store ice cream sandwiches

You can store your ice cream cookie sandwiches in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. First, I freeze my Chipwich on a baking sheet or a plate. This lets the ice cream cookie sandwich freeze into place so it does not stick to the plastic. Then, I like to wrap each ice cream cookie sandwich with plastic wrap and put in a plastic baggie so that they don’t get freezer burned. When you are ready to eat one, let it sit out on the counter for about 5 minutes so that it is soft enough to bite into.

Making the cookies a bit special. Because there is so much sweet with these ice cream cookie sandwiches, I like to add a little bit of salt to the tops of the cookies.

Freeze the cookies. When you are making this ice cream cookie recipe you want to freeze the cookies before you add the ice cream. I like to make the cookies the day before and about 30 minutes before it is time to make the cookies, I like to freeze the cookies. It makes it easier to work with.

Good Quality Ice Cream. While I love making homemade low calorie ice cream, for this recipe, you want a good ice cream. Homemade no churn ice doesn’t work that well because it tends to melt faster.

Rolling the cookies. When you roll the ice cream cookie sandwiches, the cookies look so pretty. Not only that, it gives the cookies another level of yumminess. You can use a wide variety of things to roll the cookies in. You can use sprinkles or mini chocolate chip cookies. I even like to use very thin almond slices. Dip the filled cookies in the mixture and coat the ice cream well.

Can I skip the sprinkles? You don’t need to roll the ice cream cookie sandwiches in the sprinkles or anything else. If won’t affect the sandwiches in anyway.

Do I need anything special to make the cookie ice cream sandwiches? You don’t need anything special for the ice cream sandwiches. I like to use an ice cream scoop to add the ice cream to the cookies, but in a pinch, you can use a rubber spatula, wooden spoon or tablespoons.
