Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches (My Natural Market)

I don't know where many of you live but where I'm living here in Florida, it's already starting to feel like summer. Finally right? With all the things that come with summer, one of my favorite things is the cold new treats I get to make that I normally wouldn't in the winter. So when I got this awesome Gluten-free Ice Cream Sandwich recipe brought to me by My Natural Market, I was pretty excited! Especially with Summer around the corner and for me when it's already here. This is an awesome ice-cream sandwich recipe everyone would enjoy that can be both gluten and dairy free!

If desired, once cool place one scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top of one cookie and top with a second cookie.
