So Many Christmas Cookies!



The Christmas whirlwind has come and gone and we were left with lots of food...especially Christmas cookies!  It was just me and my husband left at the house now.  No way could we eat all these cookies.  I hate to see food go to waste so I was trying to figure out how to prolong their lifespan or use them up.

Then it hit me...leftover vanilla ice cream and these delicious sugar cookies??  ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!

A side note, I did take some help from the grocery store in order to pull off back to back days/nights of feeding 14 people.  Enter the ice cream and store bought sugar cookies.  To be fair, anyone who knows Publix, knows these sugar cookies and knows they are AMAZING!  

This was so easy...ice cream + cookies = ice cream sandwiches.



Let the ice cream sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften a bit.  Then take one small scoop, put it on one side of the cookie, then press down with another cookie.  I cleaned up the edges with my fingers.  Set them on a small baking sheet with wax paper and put back into freezer to set up.  When you're ready to eat them, let them sit for a couple minutes. That cookie gets pretty hard from the freezer!
