Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Welcome to birthday season for our household! My kids requested a “dog” theme birthday party this year. My daughter wanted chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwiches so why not add a cute little paw print to the cookies? To make the paw print we pushed a milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss and 3 mini chocolate chips into half of the cookies as soon as they came out of the oven. This is a cute unicorn ice cream Grandma found, its cake flavored. Yum! I prefer to freeze the cookies and then add the ice cream. It makes the smashing part easier, and the cookies are less likely to break on you.

ENJOY! 🙂
