I can’t remember what summer in my childhood that the ice cream “Chipwich” first made an appearance, but Google tells me it was produced from 1981 to 2007 when Nestle stopped production as it competed with its giant cookie ice cream or, Maxibon Cookie here in Oz.
I do remember how soft the cookie was and the ice cream was creamy. I haven’t had anything like it for years and years and hadn’t even given it a thought until a discussion at my house centred on ice cream treats from our childhood. (Note: I have told you that sweets were not a part of my household but, in a later story, I will tell you about how I got ice cream every day for 2 months. Patience, it will come 
) And today, it was H-O-T in Newie. I couldn’t decide if I wanted ice cream or cookies so decided to make my own version of gluten free Chipwhiches.
I really really really wanted to make the ice cream for you, but, I have not yet perfected the low fat ice cream recipe and will keep working on it. However, in the meantime, these are easy to make and quick to go together with store bought gluten free ice cream (Peter’s No Sugar Added is the only scoop I have found so far that is gluten free).
The recipe starts with my cake mix cookie recipe and you just add in some brown sugar and chocolate chips. Scoop it up, roll, and devour! Don’t miss the bottom of the post for a brand new giveaway!!! You will scream (for ice cream)**
Gluten Free Chipwiches ~ 1 batch of cookies makes 10 ice cream sandwiches
Cookies:
375 grams of boxed gluten free cake mix
50 grams brown sugar
100 grams butter softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup chocolate chips
Assembly:
1 x litre gluten free ice cream
Mini chocolate chips for rolling
Preheat oven to 175° or 160° for a fan forced oven.
Place all the cookie ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Shape dough by spoonfuls into balls. On a cookie tray, place balls 4-5 cm apart (12 fit nicely on a standard tray). Flatten slightly. Bake 9-11 minutes or until set. Cool on the cookie tray for 2 minutes and then carefully remove to cooling racks.
Place the mini chocolate chips into a shallow bowl. When the cookies are completely cool, scoop one scoop of ice cream onto the bottom side of one cookie and top with another.
Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips and place each one on a baking paper lined tray in the freezer as you progress. This will ensure they don’t melt before you have finished.
Serve immediately or wrap securely in glad wrap to store in the freezer.

Great recipe SOS!
PS FYI Lisa…”Bulla” vanilla ice cream has been around and gluten free for many years. It has been a staple at our place, especially during the summer months.
