Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies with Caramel Ice Cream

Tuesday, July 9, 2013

I made these up using the caramel ice cream I made the other day. What’s important here are the brownie sandwich cookies I put them together with. They are perfect for making ice cream sandwiches with. They are a deep chocolate, fudgy cookie and perfect with a bite of sea salt baked right in.

I bought this pan back in January, for some reason Belk had a clearance on them so I grabbed one. It would seem to me this would be a summer seasonal pan but what do I know? I was thrilled to get it and used it for the first time to make these. If you don’t have a pan, use a scoop so you get the same size cookies.
