Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
Serving Size : 16
1 pkg Chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup Shortening
1/4 cup Butter or margarine -- softened
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 gallon Ice cream

In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, shortening, butter, egg, water and vanilla; beat until blended. Divide into four equal parts.

Between waxed paper, roll one part into a 10x6" rectangle. Remove one piece of waxed paper and flip dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Score dough into eight pieces, 3x2 1/2". Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min. or until puffed. Immediately cut along the scored lines and prick holes in each piece with a fork; cool on baking sheets.

Cut ice cream into 16 slices, each 3x2-1/2".

Place ice cream between two chocolate cookies; wrap in plastic wrap.

Freeze on baking sheet overnight. Store in airtight container.
