When it comes to summer desserts, I have a few favorites. Peach cobbler with ice cream of course, classic strawberry shortcake with all the fresh strawberries and homemade cherry crostata, made with the sweetest cherries you can find. All of these desserts involve baking, which I don’t do as much of in the summer. However, for these delicious desserts, turning on the oven when it’s a million degrees outside is totally worth it!!

Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches.  Creamy vanilla ice cream, sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.  The perfect summer treat!My newest summertime obsession are these gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. I took my perfect chocolate chip cookies and tweaked the recipe just a bit. These cookies bake up perfectly chewy and have just the right amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Want to know a tip? Try cooling the cookies in the freezer until frozen before assembling your ice cream sandwiches. Once frozen, sandwich a big fat scoop of dairy free vanilla ice cream between two cookies. It will make them much easier to assemble. Trust me.

Summertime is here and it’s time to make some ice cream sandwiches!! These gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches are great for making ahead of time and serving at your next backyard barbecue with friends.
