- Press ice cream into a 9x13-inch, parchment-lined baking tray, then smooth out the top. Transfer into a freezer for at least one hour.

- Bake for 10-12 minutes, switching the baking sheets from bottom to top and from front to back at the 5-6 minute mark.
- When done, take out of the oven and wait until the cookies are completely cooled, before proceeding with the next steps.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, vanilla, and sugar. Add eggs and milk, and mix until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl at least once. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a flat disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Cut dough using a variety of heart-shape cookie cutters 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter, making sure each cookie has a match to make a sandwich. Place hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet; chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator; use a fork to prick the cookies all over with holes. Bake until just firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet; transfer to a wire rack.
- With the underside of half the cookies face up, spoon softened strawberry ice cream about 1/2 inch thick to cover one side. Place matching cookie on top of ice cream, top side facing out. Transfer immediately to freezer to harden; repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream. Serve directly from the freezer. Sandwiches can be kept stored in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 to 4 days.

LINDA'S ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
Here's a great way to make your own ice cream sandwiches!!! If you can't find the Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies in your store (check near the ice cream toppings, as it seems they are sometimes in an odd place in the store), you can use my recipe for Recipe #329292, to make these yummy treats! The kids and "Big Kids" will be smiling ear to ear while having one of these! Try rolling the finished sandwiches in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed nuts, M&M's, or your favorite candy bar, then freezing. You can also use these in making an Ice Cream Sandwich Cake for a special treat or Birthday! NOTE: Preparation time does NOT include time to soften the ice cream. Add on at least 1/2 hr. for that to your preparation time. Cooking time is chilling time. Make sure once you make these you let them sit in the freezer for AT LEAST 2 hours before serving, so the ice cream has a chance to harden.

Steps:
- Soften the ice cream until it is easily spreadable.
- Top one half of cookie with some ice cream (at least 1" thick), then put another cookie on top. (Press down easy, so you don't crack the cookies).
- Continue making the sandwiches until you are done.
- If you are decorating the sides with your favorite nuts, candies or candy bars, do so now by rolling the sandwich, in the treat of your choice, all the way around.
- Wrap each ice cream sandwich in saran wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right ice cream. Not all ice creams are created equal. For the best ice cream sandwiches, choose a firm ice cream that will hold its shape well. Avoid ice creams that are too soft or melty.
- Freeze the ice cream before assembling the sandwiches. This will help the ice cream stay firm and prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Use fresh wafers. Stale wafers will be more likely to crack or break when you assemble the sandwiches.
- Don't overfill the sandwiches. Too much ice cream will make the sandwiches difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
- Roll the sandwiches in sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts. This will add extra flavor and texture to the sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Ice cream sandwiches are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own ice cream sandwiches at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your sandwiches turn out perfect.
