Ice Cream Sandwiches

It is hard to improve upon something as notoriously delicious as the Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie (as in the recipe that comes from Neiman Marcus' very own cookbook), but a little dressing up never hurt.

When baking the cookies, I made them a little smaller than usual. After they completely cooled, I topped one cookie with a dollop of Haagen Dazs Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. After placing another cookie on top of the ice cream, I lightly pressed the cookies together to help spread the ice cream to the edge of the cookie.

As a finishing touch, I gave the edges of the cookie sandwich a frolic in a bowl of sprinkles and left them to harden in the freezer. Ready to eat now...or later. For this batch, at least, the cookie sandwiches will be on a mission to welcome my new neighbors.
