Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches (Print Version)

Bite-sized frozen treats featuring chocolate chip cookies, vanilla ice cream, and colorful patriotic sprinkles.

# What You Need:

01 - 24 mini chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)

02 - 1 pint premium vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

03 - 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking during assembly and freezing.

02 - Arrange half of the cookies (12 pieces) with their flat sides facing up on the prepared tray.

03 - Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, place one scoop of softened vanilla ice cream onto each flat-side-up cookie.

04 - Top each ice cream portion with a second cookie, pressing gently just enough to adhere without cracking the cookies.

05 - Immediately roll the exposed ice cream edges of each sandwich in the sprinkles to create an even, festive coating.

06 - Return the assembled sandwiches to the tray and freeze for a minimum of 1 hour until completely set and firm.

07 - Serve directly from the freezer for optimal texture and consistency.

01 -

They come together faster than you can find the patriotic playlist you swore you saved last year
The sprinkle coating hides any imperfect edges so yours will look bakery perfect regardless of your scooping skills

02 -

Working quickly matters because once that ice cream starts melting again there is no going back to neat edges
The sprinkles only stick to the exposed ice cream so press firmly enough that some squeezes out slightly when forming each sandwich

03 -

Let your ice cream sit on the counter for exactly ten minutes before scooping for that perfect spreadable texture
Use a cookie scoop that is slightly smaller than your cookies so the filling does not overflow immediately upon pressing
