Charlie’s birthday is tomorrow and I just finished making one of his FAVORITE desserts- Sprinkle Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches! Truth be told, my entire family has some major sweet tooths! From brownies and cakes to cookies and pastries, we have yet to meet a dessert we didn’t like. Is anyone else’s family the same?? But when it comes to summer, there is pretty much only one dessert that we end up eating — ice cream of course! There’s seriously nothing quite as satisfying and delicious as some ice cream outside on a summer night, right?? Our absolute family favorite is a fresh ice cream sandwich! Specifically, my Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Sandwich with Vanilla Ice Cream. Let me tell you, it is pure heaven! The cookies can be made ahead in minutes, so you only have to scoop some ice cream, and you’re ready to serve! How amazing is that after a long summer day? This ice cream sandwich recipe is honestly a perfect quick dessert for the kids or a delicious treat for you! :)

Best Ice Cream

If you’re anything like me, you probably keep a few desserts around the house in case of emergency! Hey, you never know when you’re going to need something sweet right? For me, I always keep all the ingredients to whip up a few batches of cookies in the pantry and at least a pint of ice cream in the freezer. (It’s honestly more like a gallon, but who’s counting right? ;)) For years now, my staple ice cream has been vanilla. It was my total favorite as a kid, but lately it’s been the only ice cream I really want to eat. There is just something so amazing about a really classic vanilla ice cream! You can scoop as little or as much ice cream as you like to fill the sugar cookie sandwich.

Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

I think by now you guys know how much I completely love sugar cookies! They are hands down my most baked cookie because they are just so darn easy to make! Plus I spent literal years trying to perfect my sugar cookie recipe, so I’m pretty committed to a good sugar cookie! The best thing about sugar cookies (besides they’re amazing flavor) is how versatile they can be. Sugar cookies are perfect just as they are, decorated for an event, or used as the delicious outsides of an ice cream sandwich. ;) Seriously the slight chewiness of a good sugar cookie with its signature sweetness is perfect to build an ice cream sandwich! For this recipe, we added just a little extra touch. ;) By gently folding in sprinkles right to the dough, your cookies will be a little sweeter and a lot more fun! ;) What’s not to love about that? If you’re in a time crunch and do not have time to make my sugar cookie recipe, you can always go to the store and grab baked cookies and add Vanilla ice Cream to your cookies.

    Oh man! This looks beyond delicious. I am going to make this as soon as possible. Well done! I can’t wait to try this either. My most favorite hobby is trying out new recipes. Since I’m engaged in my work.I don’t get much time now a days to tryout everything posted here but I had tried most of them and almost all came out really tasty at my first try itself.

      These are totally worth trying! You can also use remade cookie dough from the store if you’re pressed on time. ;)

    These look beautiful AND delicious! I’m a huge fan of cookies and ice cream sandwiches, though I’ve never made the latter before, but this is really inspiring me to give it a try ????

    I read on Instagram that you started BFFF when your son was 6 months old, and that has made me even more in awe of you! Taking on such a big project when you’re also raising a newborn baby is super inspiring, and is certainly a wake up call that I could probably be doing a lot more with my life than I am currently am ???? Haha!

      You really did your homework over there. ;) It has always been a juggling act, but somehow everything gets done. =). We just love these sprinkle ice cream cone sandwiches. They’re soooo addicting. I hope you try them sometime soon.
