Ice cream sandwiches, featuring our soft and chewy Vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed cookies.

Perfect Pairings for Summer Treats

When the temperature rises, nothing beats the combination of homemade cookies and ice cream. Our selection of soft and chewy cookies, vegan options, and crispy Vegan cookies pair wonderfully with various frozen treats. Discover the best ways to combine ice cream with our vegan and conventional cookies.

How to Make Cookie and Ice Cream Sandwiches

Our soft and chewy cookies are ideal for ice cream sandwiches. They remain tender when frozen, providing the perfect base for a range of ice cream flavors. Both our vegan and non-vegan soft and chewy cookies work extremely well.

Pairing Cookies and Ice Cream: Consider the Flavor Profile

There are two main approaches to pairing cookies with ice cream:

Choose Similar Flavors:
  • For an easy option, match the ice cream to a flavor in the cookie. For example, our vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies, filled with vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips, pair excellently with vegan chocolate ice cream.
Choose Contrasting, Complementary Flavors:
  • For a more adventurous pairing, choose ice cream that introduces a complementary flavor. For instance, our rich Vegan Chocolate Blackout Cookies, with a brownie-like chocolate flavor, pair wonderfully with a bright, tangy orange ice cream.

Create Your Own Ice Cream Flavors

If you can't find the perfect ice cream flavor, customize your own. For example, when we wanted to match ginger ice cream with our Orange White Chocolate Cookies, we mixed chopped candied ginger into vanilla ice cream.


DIY Ice Cream Flavor Tips:

  • Add Mix-Ins: chopped nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate bars work well.
  • Add Flavorings: Vanilla extract, coffee extract, or a touch of alcohol can create a whole new flavor. 
  • Add Powders: Freeze-dried fruit powders, espresso powder, or spices like cardamom and cinnamon can add a unique touch.
