I realize that in order to make an ice cream sandwich all you really have to do is put ice cream between two cookies. However, that isn’t what you buy at the store. The stores have a corner on those soft chocolate rectangles with the little holes in them. Those are the ice cream sandwiches I was going for in this “make my own.”
See all of those lovely holes? See the rectangle? See the soft chocolate cookie? This is as close as it gets, folks. Anyway, this “make your own” comes in two parts: 1) The original chocolate cookie recipe which calls for a chocolate cake mix and 2) the recipe for a homemade chocolate cake mix….if you feel the need to go all the way homemade.
You could also use a gluten free chocolate cake mix and have a great gluten free treat!
