Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

Baked Goods & Desserts

Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwiches are the seasonal dessert that takes the ice cream sandwich concept somewhere completely unexpected — thick, chewy pumpkin oat cookies packed with pecans sandwiched around a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream that starts to melt just slightly at the edges before you can finish them. This is the fall dessert that stops everyone mid-conversation.
