Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich

I just love cookies and cream ice cream sandwich! What is better than a cold ice cream sandwich? especially when it so hot outside you can fry an egg on the sidewalk. Did I mention that this summer is killing me? I think it’s the humidity here in TLV, it seems like it’s just getting worse every year.The best thing about having ice cream sandwiches in your freezer is you can have an ice cream serving with minimum effort. You just pull it out of the freezer and enjoy a double treat of fudgy chocolate cookies and ice cream. The cookies are great even with no ice cream, but as with everything ice cream just makes them better.Now, you can go all out and make home made ice cream, but I had no time to do that and I just used Haagen-Dazs Cookies and cream for the filling, of course, you can use what ever flavor you prefer. The most important thing to remember is not to over bake the cookies, ice cream sandwiches are so much better with slightly soft and chewy cookies.
