Tips to never miss when making the iconic ice cream cookie sandwich.

There are some golden rules to make this gooey wonder at home. **Make the cookie** First things first, you're going to bake the cookie by yourself. You could make do with store-bought ice cream of your favourite flavour, but the cookie needs to bake just the right way for this. **And that's how the cookie crumbles!** No, your cookie won't crumble. An ice cream sandwich needs a soft and gooey cookie and firm and chilled ice cream. If the cookie is hard and the ice cream too soft, their union would be a disappointing mush of melting desire. The way we see it, there is warm, gooey cookie and hard, chilled-to-the-bone ice cream that's holding off dissolving by a few seconds; when they come together, for a swift second, you almost feel as though they are the same consistency, until the ice cream blends just great with the cookie, melts oh-so gorgeously and tumble into your mouth announcing pure ecstasy. **Layer the ice cream** Shave layers of ice cream off the bowl, do not make balls. Now, construct layers of ice cream on one cookie, close with the other, throw a handful of sprinkles or chocolate chips and bite into it. That's as close to magic as it can get!
