16 “Low Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies” approximately 3-3/4 inches in diameter each
1 quart, 4 cups fat free frozen vanilla yogurt or fat free vanilla ice cream
non-stick baking sheet
1. Place 8 cookies spaced evenly apart; bottom side up on nonstick or stick resistant baking sheet. Top each cookie with approximately 1/2 cup firm but not hard ice cream or yogurt.
2. Top each with additional cookie and press firmly but gently down to spread and even out filling between cookies. Cover baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap and allow cookie sandwiches to chill in freezer until center is firm and cookies are frozen, 1 to 2 hours.
3. Server or wrap individually in plastic until ready to serve. Cookie sandwiches can be made a few days ahead of time and will keep well up to 2 weeks in freezer. Allow cookies to soften a few minutes before serving after removing from freezer.
