Cookie Ice-Cream Sandwiches

1 pouch (1 pound 1.5 ounces) peanut butter, chocolate chip or oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
4 1/2 cups chocolate or vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
Chopped peanuts or tiny candies, if desired

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Stir cookie mix, oil and egg in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 36 balls, about 1 inch each. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (or drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls). Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. For each ice-cream sandwich, press about 1/4 cup ice cream between 2 cookies; place in jelly roll pan.

Roll the ice cream edges in chopped peanuts or candies before freezing. Freeze about 30 minutes or until firm. Store wrapped in plastic wrap. Makes 18 sandwich cookies
