Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C). Place two small ovenproof ramekins in a baking dish with a high rim.
  2. 2 Heat ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Let cool for 5 minutes.

  3. 3 Using an ice cream scoop, mold ice cream into a ball about the size of the cookies. Place scoop of ice cream between two cookies and gently press together. If you like a smooth edge, run the back of a spoon around the edge of the ice cream sandwich. Working quickly, fill all of the cookies, lay out on a baking sheet, and place in the freezer to harden. Serve when the ice cream has frozen solid. Sandwich cookies can be stored in a freezer bag for up to two weeks.
