Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

1 (18-oz.) package cookie dough

1 pint vanilla or chocolate ice cream, softened

Cut the cookie dough into 16 equal pieces. Place on cookie sheets and bake for 9 to 11 minutes according to package directions. (The cookies should be baked so they are crisp, rather than soft.) Set aside to cool completely.

Put ice cream on bottom side of one cookie and top with a second cookie, pressing together gently. Wrap tightly in freezer-quality plastic wrap and place in freezer until time to serve.

Makes 8 servings.
