The ice cream sandwich world is your oyster! Some tasty combos include salted caramel ice cream with double chocolate cookies and vanilla ice cream with Snickerdoodle cookies, but these are just a couple examples among many. Get creative.<\/div>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best way to assemble ice cream sandwiches?<\/h3>\n<div>First, it\u2019s important to leave the ice cream out for about 20 minutes so it\u2019s soft enough to spread onto the cookies. Be sure not to overfill the sandwiches by stuffing them with too much ice cream. Spread the ice cream to be about an inch from the edges of the cookie. To avoid melting, wrap the ice cream sandwiches as soon as you make them, and immediately put them in the freezer. Chilling the cookies on a sheet tray before assembling them will also help prevent melting.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ice cream sandwich recipe makes for an

If you\u2019d like the sandwiches to look pretty, wrap each first in parchment or waxed paper,&nbsp;tie a&nbsp;piece of colorful twine&nbsp;around it, then place in a storage container to store in the freezer.<h3>What\u2019s the best way to assemble homemade ice cream sandwiches?<\/h3>First, leave the ice cream out for about 20 minutes&nbsp;so&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;soft enough to spread onto the cookies. Be sure not to overfill the sandwiches by putting on too much ice cream (tempting as it is!). Spread the ice cream to be about \u00bd-1 inch from the edges of the cookie. Top with the second&nbsp;cookie, and gently press down so the ice cream&nbsp;comes to the edge of the sandwich. To avoid melting, wrap the ice cream sandwiches promptly as you make them, and slip them right into freezer. Chilling the cookies on a sheet tray before assembling the cookies will also help  to prevent melting.
