What is a cookie ice cream sandwich called?

A cookie ice cream sandwich is simply called… exactly that! But you might also hear it referred to as an “ice cream cookie sandwich” or a “frozen cookie sandwich.” No matter the name, it’s a dessert made by placing a scoop of ice cream between two cookies. Homemade versions, like our cookie ice cream sandwiches, let you mix and match flavors for your perfect bite.

Where can I buy a Cookie Time ice cream sandwich?

Cookie Time ice cream sandwiches are a popular New Zealand treat, often found in convenience stores and supermarkets across the country. If you’re not local, it can be hard to find them—making this homemade version the next best thing. With rich, chewy cookies and your favorite ice cream, it’s easy to recreate that experience at home.

How to jazz up an ice cream sandwich?

Add toppings! Roll your assembled cookie ice cream sandwiches in sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed cereal, or mini candies for flavor and texture. You can also drizzle them with melted chocolate or dip the edges in ganache before freezing for a bakery-style finish. Creative flavor pairings like peanut butter cookies with chocolate chip ice cream also take it to the next level.

What cookies pair well with ice cream?

Soft, chewy cookies are the best choice for ice cream sandwiches. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, brownie, snickerdoodle, and even oatmeal raisin work great. The key is a cookie that won’t crack when frozen and will still be tender enough to bite through once chilled.
