These Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches are such a fun summer treat. Make a batch of homemade cookies and fill them with ice cream, then let the kids decorate!
A few years ago when my daughter turned 5, I made these ice cream sandwiches instead of cake, and they were such a hit with the kids! Not only are they pretty, but they are so, so delicious! I made these sandwiches with double chocolate cookies, filled them with vanilla ice cream, then decorated the sides with colourful chocolate candies. Easy, pretty and so tasty!
Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe Tips:
- Not only do these cookies make great ice cream sandwiches, but they are also great cookie jar filler! They’re soft, chewy and so chocolatey!
- These would make a great dessert for a July 1st or July 4th backyard party, just use different colours of candies! For a party, you could even let your guests decorate the ice cream sandwiches themselves!
- You can make these ice cream sandwiches ahead of time. Just freeze them until you’re ready to serve.
- I used smarties for these ice cream sandwiches but you can use any chocolate candy or even sprinkles!
Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
These Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches are such a fun summer treat! Make a batch of homemade cookies and fill them with ice cream, then let the kids decorate!
- Yield: 0 About 25 medium sandwiches 1x
Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Smarties for decorating (or what ever candy you like)
Instructions

- Add flour mix to sugar mix, and combine.

I like the idea of the double chocolate cookies with some rich vanilla ice cream. And the smarties are a great touch – they look much more fun and kid-friendly for the bake sale!!
