Tips & Notes
- Pull the cookies while the centers still look soft. Fully baked cookies turn hard in the freezer, and ice cream sandwiches need a cookie you can bite through.
- Soften the ice cream in the fridge, not on the counter. It should be spreadable but not melting, or the ice cream sandwiches will squeeze out at the sides.
- Freeze the wrapped ice cream sandwiches for up to 2 weeks. Let them sit out for 5 minutes before eating.
