PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Hey there LLK friends, I’m so excited to share these Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches! Here in AZ, we are living in a furnace right now, which means ice cream and popsicles and slushies are pretty much what’s keeping us alive. It’s not so bad really. Just don’t wear short shorts and then expect to sit on your leather car seats without a consequence.

I made these for our Father’s Day get together and they really hit the spot. We kept saying, “Oh I’m too full. Cut that one in half, I’ll share it with you…” and then coming back for another half soon after.


My mother-in-law makes the best chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwiches and she discovered that they taste best (and are easier to eat) when you make them about a week ahead of time. The cookies slowly absorb some of the moisture from the ice cream and get nice and soft. Seriously heaven! I highly recommend making these ahead of time too.
