Spring is a day away, and I’m already onto summer. I can’t wait. With that, I’m once again jumping ahead—this time with a summer treat—Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Yep, I’m ready for it, and totally trying to sell you on it with this treat and Friday’s dessert post that you definitely don’t want to miss.
For this one today, it’s pretty easy. Bake up a batch of your favorite cookies and smoosh your favorite ice cream in the middle. I used a mocha almond crunch for the ice cream filling you see here, which gave the whole ensemble a Mexican coffee flavor–killah! Need to shortcut this recipe further? Use ready-to-bake cookie dough, or just go ahead and use store bought cookies. Who’s judging? Your time is valuable, so spend it as you see fit. I’m not a home-bake glorifier, I’m a foodie who glorifies taste and experience.
So your palate, your preference. Your time, your food – make it happen as you see fit—enjoy!

Snickerdoodles are SO good and as an ice cream sandwich, mmm, perfect warm weather treat!
I’m pretty pumped that I live in Florida so I can totally justify making these right now!
Potentially for breakfast. Because, why not?
Pinned!
Summer can’t come any sooner. I need to make this and possibly make that ice cream too sandwich those cookies between.
I love snickerdoodles! They are one of my favorite cookies, ever since I was a little girl. There is nothing quite like that cream of tartar tang. I love how you made them into ice cream sandwiches – I imagine it provides such a creamy and refreshing value that pairs beautifully with the traditional snickerdoodle flavor. Absolutely brilliant.
I love snickerdoodles but I never thought of making them into ice cream sanwiches. These are amazing!
The only person I think who’d love these more than myself is my husband. Like if I made these for him I think he’d be like a little kid.
Bring on the ice cream sandwiches and bring on the summer!
I am so with you, bring on the sun,hot temps and ice cream! These sandwiches are calling my name! 🙂
Cookies are always better as a sandwich with ice cream and sun!
These are ridiculous. And I want a dozen!
Naomi!! These are gorgeous! I want!
OMGeeeee! Love Snickerdoodles and this is such a GREAT idea! YUM!
These look phenomenal and I love what you said about being a foodie who glorifies taste and experience. Very well said! 🙂
Snickerdoodles are my fave ice cream sandwich, love!
I can just feel the chewy soft texture of those cookies by looking at them and I’m sure they taste just as amazing as I’m imagining right now. What a great recipe to welcome spring and summer!
I want this so so bad right now. I’ve got a massive headache and I’m sure this will be the cure!!
What a treat!
Mmm, the spicy goodness of snickerdoodles in an ice cream sandwich. Yum. Indeed something to get us through until summer FINALLY arrives. : )
I’m ready for summer and these gorgeous ice cream sandwiches!
Gorgeous ice cream sandwiches.
Perfection!
Your photography is always so beautiful. I’m always drooling at the screen and these ice cream sandwiches are no exception!
I don’t care what season it is, I love ice cream sandwiches! Never make it with snickerdoodles though…will have to give this a try!
Great tips . it is really interesting, I hope everybody lick this Post.
These cookies sound truly perfect!! Yum!
Oh man these remind me of the Coolhaus truck here in NY… they pump out these amazing snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches! Beautiful photos, as always!
Wow, I’m not even a big fan of cookies (I know, gasp, gasp) and you’ve got me craving these big time!
Absolutely gorgeous. And fun! All at the same time, I LOVE that!!
Nomi, I about died when I saw these! Best combination ever!
I’ve never made snickerdoodles, seems like time to make some now. Summer is ending for us in NZ now, but the hot days will make this perfect! Perhaps with some cookies n creme or caramel ice cream? Strawberry might go well too!
I’ve made these using “fried ice cream” flavored ice cream (Kroger brand cinnamon flavored ice cream). Perfect with snickerdoodles! My Bible study group raves over them!
