Classic Ice Cream Sandwiches

I’ve mentioned in this outfit post that ice cream sandwich is my favorite dessert. Not sure why; maybe solely because it reminds me of my childhood, or the fact that I don’t have to choose between cookies or ice cream.  I love the softness of the chocolate cookie and how residuals get stuck on my fingers.  It is also the perfect complement to a layer of vanilla ice cream.  This recipe from Smitten Kitchen has really helpful directions to make and assemble the sandwiches.  Since you’re dealing with ice cream, you have to work quickly or it can get messy.  I would put the finished sandwich in the freezer while I assemble the other sandwiches.  This time I made classic chocolate cookie + vanilla ice cream, but I’m looking to try other combinations like sugar cookie + coffee ice cream.
