1 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2 If your cookies are not flat, trim a tiny bit off the top so each pair sits evenly.

3 Scoop about 2 generous tablespoons (or use a small ice cream scooper) of slightly softened ice cream onto the flat side of 8 cookies.

4 Top each with a second cookie and press gently to spread the ice cream evenly to the edges, creating a sandwich.

5 Place assembled sandwiches on the prepared sheet, smoothing any uneven edges with a spatula.

6 Freeze the sandwiches for at least 30 minutes to firm, then for best texture freeze 60 minutes.

7 Dip or drizzle each sandwich with melted chocolate, then immediately roll edges in sprinkles or crushed nuts if using.

8 Return sandwiches to the freezer for another 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.

9 Store in an airtight container or individually wrapped in the freezer. Serve cold straight from the freezer.
