Cookie Monster Ice Cream Sandwich

Adapted from Edoughble [1]

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, salt, and both sugars until a frosting-like consistency is reached. Add applesauce, nutmeg, and blue food coloring, and mix until combined. Mix in flour and vanilla extract until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Using a ring mold, divide your dough into 4 equal circles and flatten. Wrap in plastic and freeze until firm. Scoop out and soften your ice cream, then flatten it in a baking sheet. Cut out 2 ice cream discs the same size as your cookie dough circles and freeze for 10 minutes. Add your ice cream discs to 2 of your cookie dough circles and top with your remaining dough. Press your mini cookies into the side of the ice cream and enjoy!
