Yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Day so I decided to do a spin on the classic chocolate chip cookie with a updated version of this recipe. Two cups of crushed potato chips and a pint of ice cream later I had homemade ice cream sandwiches that combined salty sweet and crunch gooey goodness all into one. I let the cookies set for about 20 minutes before turning them into ice cream sandwiches and when they were still slightly warm they were incredible! But since I had no business eating a dozen ice cream sandwiches at that moment I wrapped them individually in plastic wrap and stuck them in the freezer. I suggest letting them thaw for a few minutes before eating them if you freeze them but either way this is an easy update to an old classic. Enjoy!
