Homemade Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches: A Dream Come True

If there’s anything better than a warm snickerdoodle cookie, it might just be a soft snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich. These homemade treats are the perfect blend of cozy cinnamon-sugar flavor and cool, creamy indulgence — all in one bite. And the best part? They’re surprisingly easy to amke from scratch, with a few simple ingredients and no ice cream maker required.

Soft & Chewy Snickerdoodles, Even After Freezing

The magic starts with the cookies. Instead of scooping individual cookies, this recipe uses a half size sheet pan to bake one giant snickerdoodle slab – perfect for cutting into uniform squares. These cookies are soft, chewy, and just the right thickness to sandwich without overwhelming the ice cream. Even better, they stay soft straight out of the freezer. No rock-hard cookies here – just pillowy, cinnamon-kissed goodness in every bite.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Between those soft cookies is a thick layer of homemade vanilla ice cream that’s rich, creamy, and smooth like soft serve. Made with heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt, it delivers deep vanilla flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. And since it’s a no-churn recipe, there’s no need for fancy equipment – just whipe, fold, freeze and you’re done.

A Dessert That’s Worth the Chill

Once assembled, these snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches are a dream to eat. The cookies remain tender, the ice cream melts slowly into soft, creamy cloud, and the cinnamon-sugar coating gives that nostalgic snickerdoodle finish. They’re perfect for summer cookouts, after-school treats, or whenever you want a dessert that feels both nostalgic and next-level.

Pro-Tip: Cut them into squares and wrap individually in foil for grab-and-go convenience. Trust me, once you have one, you’ll want a stash ready at all times.
