My son requested ice cream sandwiches instead of a cake for his Birthday. Ok, that was a go! I just subbed Choc Chip ice cream, as that is the overwhelming family fave. As long as you let these sit in the freezer for a good couple of hours( I have nooooo patience!) they are to die for! Thank you for a new favorite!

These are just wonderful! I omitted the butterscotch chips, since I didn't have them in the house. I used black cherry vanilla swirl frozen yogurt, but only needed about 1/2 of a 1 1/2 quart. My sandwiches aren't as tall as some, I guess. I just used the "soften" feature on my microwave which made the fro yo the perfect consistency (it was 20 seconds). I read the reviews, and then decided to just press the dough into a large square on a parchment-covered jellyroll pan. I used another sheet of parchment over the top of it to do the shaping, so the dough didn't stick to my fingers. I cooked it 11 minutes, and after a few minutes of cooling, just cut the giant square into 20 (more or less) equal pieces. It worked really well. Thanks for the recipe!!

Made modifications based on ease and preferred flavors: subbed peanut butter chips for the butterscotch, put batter in (2) 9" cake pans and baked, after cooling, removed one layer from pan, keep bottom layer in pan, spread softened vanilla frozen yogurt on, topped with other cake layer, covered all with foil and returned to freezer. To serve, removed from freezer 10 mins prior to cutting into serving pieces. Can serve with a dolop of whipped cream and drizzle with hot fudge if you wish. As mentioned, this great recipe can go many different ways with cake and ice cream flavors, as well as chips used.

sooo good and easy! i skipped the butterscotch chips and used mint chip/cookies and cream ice creams. i was worried the cookie dough would run a lot given the amount of butter, but it actually didn't. I put leftover dough in the fridge overnight and it was still delicious the next day. everyone loved these. i scooped the ice cream not in a ball but in thin sheets with the spoon. i think if i tried to flatten a scoop with the cookie it would have bent or broken.

Making the cookies was really easy but the actual construction got a bit sloppy. Ice cream must be the perfect "softness," preferably not "melty." My boyfriend liked them so much he asked me to marry him.

I'm really conflicted how to rate these. They tasted amazing beyond and were gone in seconds. But the recipe...kinda flopped. The cookies flattened and merged together-I ended up with a cookie the size of my pan! I cut them all up and managed to salvage it somewhat but it didn't look too pretty. It may have been my fault though (ok, it probably was)-I greased my hands so I'd have an easier time rolling them out. I guess I'll give them a four-my family's kind of insisting; they loved them!

This recipe was so simple, all ingredients readily available, and fun. A fun way to have the kids help. Used the advice of other reviewers and rolled the dough onto a cookie sheet and cut into circles using the rim of a small glass. Perfect little sandwiches. Would definitely make again and would try using different cake mixes/ice cream.

Wow. All I can say is wow. If I had no self control, these could easily become part of my daily diet. The only thing I changed was to leave out the butterscotch chips...personal taste. They are easy to make as long as you move fast with the ice cream. And they turn out huge making them into 2" balls as the recipe states. Next time I will try making them a bit smaller. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because, once frozen, they were a little hard for my kids to bite into. I had to cut my 5 year old's into bite size pieces. Personally, I thought they were perfect! Thank you for such a great recipe!!!

These are way better than store brought, that's for sure. It's a little hard to get the correct amount of ice cream in for the first try though, but I think I got it now. I'll certainly make these again, I'm surprised at how easy they are. Thanks
