Method
 

How to Make Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla into the cooled chocolate mixture until pale and thick.
  4. Fold the flour and baking powder gently into the mix until just combined. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  5. Scoop the dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Smooth the tops with fingers.
  6. Bake for 7 minutes until puffy, then flatten gently and cool briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Beat the whipped cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add milk and vanilla until thick.
  8. Spread a generous layer of filling between two cooled cookies, pressing gently to make a sandwich.
  9. Roll the edges of filled cookies in colorful sprinkles or mini chocolate chips. Chill before serving.
