Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe
There’s something undeniably joyful about an ice cream sandwich, and when it’s made with sprinkle-studded chocolate chip cookies and thick scoops of vanilla ice cream, it’s pure, unfiltered summer fun.
These playful Sprinkle Ice Cream Sandwiches are a nostalgic throwback with a homemade twist: soft, chewy cookies flecked with mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles provide the perfect contrast to the creamy, cold vanilla filling.
Once assembled, the edges are rolled in even more sprinkles for a crunchy pop of color and texture.
Ideal for birthday parties, BBQs, or an after-dinner surprise on a sweltering day, these cookie ice cream sandwiches are as much about celebration as they are about indulgence.
They can be made ahead and stashed in the freezer, and they’re highly customizable. Swap in your favorite ice cream flavor or mix up the cookie base to suit your cravings.
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! Once assembled, the sandwiches can be frozen in an airtight freezer container for up to 2 months. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.) Wrap each sandwich in parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
How do I store leftover ice cream sandwiches? Store any leftover sandwiches in the freezer in a single layer or wrapped individually to avoid freezer burn.
Can I substitute the vanilla ice cream? Absolutely—try mint chip, cookies and cream, strawberry, or even a dairy-free coconut-based ice cream for a twist.

How to Make Sprinkle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla, beating until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
Fold in mini chocolate chips and sprinkles.
Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cookies are cool, scoop about ¼–⅓ cup of slightly softened vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie and gently press to spread the ice cream to the edges.
Roll the edges of the sandwich in additional sprinkles, then place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the assembled sandwiches for at least 1 hour before serving.
