Remember the dalgona coffee craze during the pandemic? Remember how hot it was that summer and we all had to push our strollers up the hill to get our toddlers to take a freaking nap?

No? Not all?

Fine, just me then.

Well I got inspired, twice, and made these instant coffee cookies and sandwiched some ice cream between the two.

So I could come home from one of those hot and heavy up-the-hill 20 lbs toddler stroller walk sesh’es and treat myself to a cold treat.

I deserved it y’all.

Joking aside, I remember those days fondly, and these ice cream cookie sandwiches even more so.

Hope you give the easy recipe a try, with our without a stroller walk to deserve one. Let me know what you think!
