Notes
Serving: Best served chilled; cut in half for presentation or enjoy whole.
Storage: Store assembled sandwiches in the freezer. Plain cookies can be stored in the fridge for a few days. Place wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Tips: Use different ice cream flavors for variety; try spooky-themed decorations; chill dough if sticky.
Variation: Add nuts or dried fruit; swap chocolate chips for white or butterscotch chips.
