I’m going to cut right to the chase. These Rocky Road Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches are the bomb! This is the best dessert I’ve ever made and my family all agrees. They have seen so many baking disasters so maybe they were shocked…I don’t know, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed these!
I think they key in making the perfect ice cream cookie sandwich is to get the texture of the cookie just right. It has to be soft and almost malleable, that way you can bite into it without it falling apart. I used my coconut caramel cookie recipe base because I know that is the only cookie recipe that turns out for me. You also need to make sure you cook these for the right amount of time. My recipe says 8-1o minutes, but mine were 8 on the dot. It depends on your oven, but I would recommend taking the first batch out at 8 minutes.
Once they were cool, I dipped them in white chocolate…not only is that delicious, but it’s beautiful! I took like a thousand pictures of these and it took me forever to decide what pictures to post because I loved them all!
After that, I added some delicious DREYER’s SLOW CHURNED Rocky Road and Vanilla Bean ice cream. I like to use this because it’s light and fluffy and it’s easy to eat in a sandwich. Also, it’s 1/2 the fat and 1/3 the calories of other ice cream brands! Check out your Just 4 U account to see if there is a coupon available!

I decorated these with some scrapbook paper cut out with a 2″ circle hole punch and the cute banner I designed for Tatertots and Jello! Super easy!
