File under “You’re On For Dessert But You Have No Time So You’re Just Going To Stop at the Grocery Store and Buy Something Off The Shelf.” Or, in my case last week, “You’re On Vacation In A Big House With A Lot Of People And You Don’t Want To Spend A Lot Of Time In The Kitchen, But You Want Something Special For Dessert.”

Next time you need a quick, easy, inexpensive dessert, try this:

Simple Ice Cream Sandwiches

You’ll need chocolate chip (or any other) cookies from your grocery store’s bakery section and a container of ice cream.

• Place one cookie upside down on a plate.
• Plop one scoop of ice cream
• Press another cookie right side up on top and smoosh it down gently with the palm of your hand, taking care not to break the cookie.

Voila! You have yummy “homemade” ice cream sandwiches!

Of course, if you have a bit more time, you can bake your own cookies.

But you don’t have to! These are delicious, fun, and so, so easy. Especially for summer!
