Cupid's Ice Cream Treats
"Heart shaped ice cream sandwiches. A perfect valentines day treat. I got this recipe from the Parent's web site. I made this with my kids for Valentines day, they were fun to make and taste good too!!! The cookie does stay quite crunchy, next time I will try using brown sugar instead."

These are so fancy and delicious. In addition to the 2.5-inch ice cream sandwhiches, I also used a 6-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to make 2 gigantic ice cream sandwiches. Rolling the side of the sandwiches into sprinkles makes them look festive and cute. The only reason that I am giving this a four star is because the cookies seem to be a little hard. Will try to add some melted chocolate to the dough to softened them up next time.

Made these for my DH for Valentines Day which is our anniversary too. They were pretty easy to make. I had a little trouble getting the dough rolled out but finally got it to where I could cut the heart shapes out. I got 5 large valentine sandwiches out of this recipe. Can't wait to give one to my hubby :) I already had me one and it was delicious. Great idea for any holiday too. :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
