Mini Chocolate Ice Cream Cookies

These are a favorite summer treat in our house. I love the simplicity of them, and they even have some health value to them... note, I said "some." Made with natural ingredients, their a great go-to treat to make ahead and have on-hand.

Ingredients:
1 box Back to Nature Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/2 c Breyers 1/2 the fat All Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
1.5 oz Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped finely

Instructions:
Remove ice cream from freezer and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. In the meantime, chop chocolate finely. Line a freezer-proof container with wax paper. Place 1 cookie face-down and scoop approximately 2 tablespoons ice cream onto cookie and top with another cookie, pressing slightly to flatten. Roll the edges of your cookie sandwich in chocolate to cover sides. Place in container and put in freezer to allow to firm-up.

*Yields 10 cookie sandwiches.
