Message from Maggie:  I created homemade ice cream sandwiches this weekend for Adam’s 30th birthday.  They were a huge hit and couldn’t be simpler.

Ingredients:

• Favorite cookie recipe (Note:  I used this recipe but replaced chocolate and mint chips for M+Ms to make these more colorful)
• Favorite flavor of ice cream (Note: I used French vanilla)
• Plastic sandwich bags

Instructions:

1. Bake cookies according to recipe and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Turn half the cookies upside down on counter.
3. Let ice cream soften for a few minutes and then put a scoop onto each cookie.
4. Place another cookie on top of ice cream and press down gently creating a cookie sandwich.
5. Package each cookie sandwich in sandwich bags and fold to close.
6. Place sandwich bags in a dish in the freezer.
