Notes
Storage: Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Make-Ahead: Bake and freeze the cookies for up to a month. Assemble sandwiches directly from frozen with softened ice cream. Variations: Use chocolate chip cookies or add cocoa powder to the dough. Try different ice cream flavors like mint chocolate chip, strawberry, or cookies and cream. For neater edges, after freezing for 1 hour, you can trim any excess ice cream with a sharp knife.
