Cake Mix Ice Cream Sandwiches

July 2nd, 2010

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone. May you have a fun-filled celebration!  We are going to be spending time with family this weekend while indulging in barbecues, fireworks, firefly watching and some good ol’ patriotism.  I’m also really excited to make these ice cream sandwiches.  We made them last weekend and they were such a hit, we’re making them again.  Super easy and super yummy.  That’s pretty much my cooking motto.

Easy cake mix ice cream sandwiches

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • Your favorite ice cream
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter, vanilla extract, eggs.  Use a cookie dough scoop or roll dough into 2-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.  If you don’t have a cookie dough scooper, get one! I can’t live without mine.  Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not over bake. The cookies should be set, but still soft.  Let cool in on the baking sheet then transfer to freezer for at least 1 hour before filling.
  3. Scoop ice cream and place between two cookies and gently press together.  Fill all of the cookies, lay out on a baking sheet, and place in the freezer to harden.  If you’re having a party, you can make this a day in advance.  They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!
