Anyone have a GREAT recipe for the ice cream sandwich maker? I volunteered to do the cookies for ice cream sandwiches for my daughter's last day of school. Is it just as easy to do a tub of frozen dough?
 
The archway cookies work the best (size-wise) or if you'd like to make your own you can use the Large Stainless Scoop with much success. Anything smaller than these do not work well with the Ice Cream Sandwich maker we sell.

Try using vanilla ice cream and roll them in sprinkles, nuts, mini M&M's, etc.

Re-freezing them after making them makes it so much easier and less messy to eat.
 
As long as the cookies are 3" when cooked. Use the large scoop & you'll be fine.
 
I have found the med scoop works the best for me. Also dont put to much ice cream in them I have found they can get very messy.
 
Make chocolate brownies in the Large Bar Pan, cut out brownies using the ice cream sandwich maker. fill with your favorite flavor of ice cream. May I suggest mint chocolate chip?!? :)

It's either because I'm Canadian... or stunnedbut what is an archway cookie?:angel:
 
Muffetts, I have never heard of archway cookies so it is not just you.
 
Archway is a brand of packaged cookies. In our grocery store they are
sold in see through packages that hold about 10 to 12 cookies, and cost
from 99 cents to maybe $1.29. They have a variety of flavors including
molasses, oatmeal raisin, chocolate, and chocolate chip. Quite often they
are on the end of an aisle where they catch your eye just as you approach
check outs. It is often an impulse purchase for me.
 
Meijer grocery stores in the midwest have a store brand version of Archway cookies that work in the Ice Cream Sandwich Maker, too. The molasses ones are really good with coffee ice cream. mmm...
 
Oh my goodness I am gettin hungry!
 
I'm having my very first open house tonight.... you guys just talked me into using my ice cream sandwich maker for dessert. :)
 
I don't own one yet but sounds like I should.

Sarah- where in Upstate are you?? I grew up in Ballston Spa/Saratoga and went to SUNY Cobleskill (to start).
