These chocolate chip shortbread ice cream sandwiches are a total frozen treat. To finish them, roll the edges in sprinkles for fun decoration.
It was a lesson in patience to make these shortbread ice cream sandwiches with my 4-year-old.
The recipe isn’t complicated, but there are steps that involve baking, cooling and waiting before the final assembly. F
or days we had been talking about making cookies and our brainstorming went from just cookies to full-on dessert complete with ice cream and sprinkles.
I couldn’t say no to all his creativity and imagination!
We started by making the shortbread dough, which was crumbly until we pressed it together into a disk and chilled it in the fridge.
Then we rolled out the dough and cut out the cookies. Once they baked and cooled, it was time to put together the sandwiches.
With half the cookies in a row, I used an ice cream scoop to divvy up the vanilla ice cream and then sandwiched another cookie on top.
They weren’t finished until we decorated them with sprinkles.
