Ingredients
1 roll premade sugar cookie dough (cut into 8 large cookies)
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 cup Golden Oreos, crushed
1 box strawberry cake mix, prepared according to package instructions
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the sugar cookie dough into 8 cookies, about 1½ inches thick. Place on a greased or nonstick baking sheet and bake according to package directions. Allow cookies to cool completely.
Prepare the strawberry cake according to the package instructions. Let cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and 1 cup crumbled strawberry cake.
Place 1–2 scoops of vanilla ice cream between two cooled cookies. Gently press together and smooth the edges with a spoon or butter knife.
Roll or dip the exposed ice cream edges into the strawberry shortcake crumb mixture until coated.
Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper and freeze for 1–2 hours before serving.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Let the ice cream soften slightly for easier assembly.
Freeze the sandwiches immediately after coating to help them hold their shape.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
For extra strawberry flavor, add a few drops of strawberry extract to the ice cream before assembling.
