Form your cookies so that they are larger than normal. A little larger than the mouth of a drinking glass. Chill the cookies in the fridge so that they harden and will be cold for the next step.

1. Allow your favorite flavor of ice cream to soften so that it is malleable, but do not allow it to melt.
2. Fill the bottom of a large, rectangular dish first with plastic wrap then with ice cream about an inch thick.
3. Place the rectangular dish filled with ice cream in your deep freezer overnight so that it hardens completely.

1. Remove your cookies from the fridge and using a large circular cookie cutter, circles out of the cookies.
2. Remove the ice cream from the freezer.
3. Working quickly, remove the ice cream from the dish by pulling on the plastic wrap.
4. Place the ice cream block on a cutting board and cut circles with the circular cookie cutter.
5. Quickly assemble a top and bottom to your ice cream sandwich by placing a formed cookie below and over a piece of ice cream.
6. Place each cookie on a cookie tray in the freezer as you cut and assemble them.
7. When finished, allow the now formed ice cream sandwiches to harden in the freezer uncovered. This should take about an hour.
8. Wrap each one individually with plastic wrap. If available, vacuum seal the cookies in packs of 4 for maximum freshness.
