Allow ice cream to soften for 5-10 minutes, or until easily scoopable.
Place a cookie sheet or container in freezer to place your ice cream sandwiches as you assemble them.
Place chocolate chips in a shallow bowl.
Place half of cookies upside down on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper.
Working in batches of 2-3 cookies at a time, scoop ¼ cups of ice cream on top of each cookie and sandwich with a second cookie. Roll each sandwich in the chocolate chips to adhere. Place in freezer.
Continue until all sandwiches are assembled and in freezer. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

You can use refrigerated cookie dough, store bought (check the grocery store bakery – don’t use packaged as they won’t be soft), or you can make one of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes.
It’s best to work in small batches so the ice cream doesn’t melt. Freeze as you go so you don’t have a mess.
