Listen, I discovered this treat by accident when I had leftover caramel sauce and some cookie dough on hand. The beauty of this recipe is that you don't need to bake anything, which makes it perfect for those hot days when turning on the oven sounds like torture. The brown sugar in the cookies provides natural molasses, packed with minerals like potassium and magnesium that refined sugar simply can't offer. Plus, assembly takes maybe twenty minutes tops, so you can have homemade ice cream sandwiches ready to enjoy faster than a trip to the ice cream parlor. Honestly, once you make these, you'll wonder why you ever bought the store bought version.
