Cinnamon Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Yesterday, I made a big batch of Cinnamon Oatmeal cookies from a recipe I found on a bag of Hershey's chips.  The recipe sounded delicious, looked easy and after getting organized, I was ready to start making cookies.  Oh goodness, I was right because after about 9 minutes in the oven, I pulled out a rich, crunchy cookie with just the right amount of texture from the oatmeal.  The best part was the cinnamon chips which were slightly melted...yum!

After my first taste test, I decided that those sweet little cookies would be perfect with some ice cream, so, I got out my trusty scoop and went to work.  These ice cream sandwiches are the an amazing sweet treat - crunchy on the outside, cool and creamy on the inside.  This is one good, small bite...enjoy!
