3. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from the cookie sheet, then cool completely (about 30 minutes). 
4. For each ice cream sandwich, place 1 scoop of ice cream (about ⅓ cup) between 2 cookies.
5. Gently press cookies together (ice cream should spread to the edge of cookies), then roll ice cream edges in sprinkles.
6. Eat immediately, OR to save for later, wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. Place in a resealable freezer bag and freeze until needed.
