Top tips
Making these ice cream sandwiches is super simple. here are a few tips to make sure they come out great every time!
- Use a sturdy cookie! This is very important because the cookie will hold the whole sandwich together. If the cookie is too crumbly, the sandwich may fall apart.
- Don't underbake the cookies. Sometimes, slightly underbaking cookies is okay to achieve the gooey texture, but again, the cookie needs to be able to hold the ice cream.
- Be creative with your ice cream sandwiches. Add sprinkles, crunchies, or any ice cream topping to the sides of the ice cream.
