Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches

Our recipe for ice cream sandwiches lets you recreate this childhood favorite, wrapping and all.

Confetti Cookies

These Confetti Cookies are made for unabashed sprinkles lovers. The teeny multicolored bits make their way into these chewy snickerdoodle inspired cookies by way of crunchy-sweet Birthday Cake Crumb and into the dough where they melt and tie dye the insides of these oversized cookies.

Homemade Chipwiches

With tender chocolate chip cookies and a fluffy no-churn ice cream, these frozen treats taste just like your favorite chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, only better.

Confetti Cookies

These fun roll-out butter cookies are mixed with sprinkles.

Sprinkles Ice Cream

Most sprinkles ice creams just add colored sprinkles to a plain, unflavored sweet cream base. That's pretty boring. This recipe uses candy-colored, delightfully artificially flavored cereal (Fruity Pebbles, specifically, but Trix and Froot Loops would work well) to make something that's far more fun and deserving of the sprinkles that go into it.

Brioche Ice Cream Sandwich

All over Italy, you find brioche mixed with sweet things. Brioche con Gelato, Granita e Gelato, Marizotti. And as an Ice cream sandwich lover, I took what Italy gave us and put my little American spin on it. The result is the greatest ice cream sandwich I’ve ever had.

"Fluffernutter" Sandwich Cookies

This decadent sandwich cookie takes its inspiration from the New England lunchtime classic, the Fluffernutter (aka a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich).

Lemon Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you've made a mint chocolate chip ice cream before, this recipe follows the same basic procedure. But while mint leaves are usually steeped in the cream for upwards of an hour or two before getting strained out, basil benefits more from a short initial steeping before getting blended into the base. I forgo chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate for simply shaving chocolate directly into the ice cream as it's finishing the churn.

E.L. Fudge-Style Chocolate and Vanilla Sandwich Cookies

With crisp and crunchy vanilla wafers sandwiching a dark-chocolate cream filling, these shortbread cookies taste as magical as if they'd been prepared by an elf. Of course, they can be made with whatever cookie cutters you have on hand, but when it comes to whipping up a batch of copycat E.L. Fudge, owl fudge cookies sound just about right.

Ice Cream Filled July 4th Cupcakes

Moist buttermilk red velvet cupcakes are filled with the whitest ice cream you can find (such as coconut or vanilla). Rings of white- and blue-tinted cream cheese frosting are piped on top to complete the 4th of July theme. Make these cupcakes ahead of time and serve directly from the freezer for a cool treat.
