Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches can be made using your favorite store-bakery or homemade chocolate chip cookies. You’ll also need mint ice cream or frozen yogurt.
However, since several in our immediate family are on a gluten-free diet (myself included), we make the soft homemade gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes we also make homemade ice cream.
To make Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches you’ll need the following:
- 1 dozen chocolate chip/chunk cookies
- 1-quart mint chip ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (I personally use Enjoy Life chocolate chips because they contain nothing artificial and are free from gluten, wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, sulfates, casein, and potato.)
Generously scoop several tablespoons of mint chip ice cream or frozen yogurt onto a cookie, then top with another cookie.
Next, place mini chocolate chips into a shallow bowl and carefully and quickly roll the cookie sandwich edges in the mini chocolate chips, evenly coating all sides. Serve immediately, or place the cookie sandwiches onto a large cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and freeze for use later. (They keep nicely in the freezer for up to two weeks.)

The number of cookie sandwiches you end up with will depend on the size of cookies you use. Feel free to use (purchased) bakery cookies or make your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe. These cookie sandwiches will keep well up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches make a refreshing treat any day of the week. However, because of the green color, they make a lovely dessert for Christmas and/or St. Patrick’s Day.
Enjoy!
