At work we recently hosted a bake sale to help out a fellow employee that was going through some challenging times within their family. The bake sale, 50/50 and donations all went to help this family out. As a new employee this really impressed me and showed how much the company truly is a ‘family’ – the most functional, dysfunctional family, but still a family. For the bake sale I made these yummy little homemade ice cream sandies (aka. sandwiches). Within one day of fundraising we’ve raised approximately $2,500 for our fellow employee! Impressive if you ask me!
These little guys are very easy to make and are modified from another recipe I have. For the cookie dough:
- 1 pack of cake mix (any flavour except angel food)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of oil
Scoop into small balls, place on parchment paper and bake for 8-11 minutes at 350°F. Let them completely cool (you can even put them in the freezer) before scooping the ice cream/frozen yogurt in between them.
For the filling – simple! Just scoop ice cream or my personal favourite, Chapman’s Frozen Yogurt (their best flavour is Nanaimo Bar!) onto one cookie bottom and smoosh another on top. Consume.
A 'behind the scenes' shot
Enjoy these little treats & I hope they can cool you down on a hot summer day or put a smile on someone’s face :).
