Ice Cream Sandwiches:
On the bottom side of one chocolate cookie, put 1 large scoop of your favorite ice cream, top with another chocolate cookie, wrap individually and freeze!
For half of my sandwiches I used chocolate peanut butter and the other half I used mint chocolate ice cream :)
ENJOY on any hot summer day :)
