In honor of July being National Ice Cream Month, and it happens to be summertime, what better way to kick back and unwind than by enjoying a yummy, ice cream snack? Not only is it a delicious treat, it’s also a great way to have fun with the family!

Ingredients:

–       Any Brand of Cookie dough you prefer (homemade or pre-made, your choice)

–       1 pint of vanilla ice cream

–       Red, white and blue sprinkles (any kind)

Instructions:

Parent: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Kiddo: Place cookie dough onto baking pan.

Parent: Bake cookies for about 10-11 minutes (as you see fit).

Parent: Let cookies sit until they are room temperature.

Kiddo: Place your sprinkles into a bowl during this time.

Kiddo: Put 2 scoops of vanilla onto your cookie, then take another cookie and place it on top of your ice cream.

Kiddo/Parent: Even out the sides of your ice cream sandwich so that it is smooth on the sides.

Kiddo: Dip the ice cream sandwich into the bowl of sprinkles (make sure all the sides are covered with sprinkles.)

After all the sandwiches are done, place them into a large “Tupperware” container and allow the sandwiches to cool in the freezer for up to an hour.

Then ENJOY!
