Nothing conjures up childhood nostalgia like these frozen sandwiches - but forget the jangling bells on the ice cream truck and make your own for an even better treat. The ice cream needs to be firm enough to hold its shape before making the sandwiches. If it's too soft, let it chill in the freezer before assembling, but if it's too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes first.

Makes 15 ice cream sandwiches

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

Spoon 1/4 cup ice cream onto one cookie; sandwich with a second cookie. Repeat with the remainder of the ice cream and cookies. (You may have a little ice cream left over.) Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze until the ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour. Individually wrap in plastic once the ice cream is firm.
