Star Spangled Ice Cream Cookie Treats the Kids Can Make and Eat

Whatever your Star-Spangled celebration entails, there’s likely to be kids around.  If you need a fast and fun Fourth of July dessert, this kid-friendly simple treat is the one to go to.  Premade or homemade chocolate chip cookies, or any cookie of your liking for that matter, plus some ice cream and patriotic sprinkles and you’re on your way to one spectacular kid friendly dessert. Better yet, gather the kids in the kitchen with you, let them pick out their favorite ice cream and have them make decorate these tasty treats!  If you don't have cookies on hand, brownies would work, too!

20 chocolate chip cookies (or the cookie of your choice)

½ gallon vanilla ice cream (or the ice cream of your choice)

Red, white and blue sprinkles

Let the ice cream soften slightly.  Scoop a generous heaping of ice cream on top of one flat side of the cookie. Add another cookie to make a sandwich.  Squeeze the cookie just enough so that the ice cream comes to the edge of the cookies. Roll the exposed ice cream into the sprinkles.  Wrap and freeze ice cream sandwiches so they harden up again(approximately 1 hour).  Enjoy!
