1 1/2 quarts of vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
Chopped peanuts for topping (optional)
Mini chocolate chips for topping (optional)

On 12 cookies placed top side down, generously spread a layer of peanut butter. Add a scoop of ice cream onto each. Complete the sandwiches by placing the remaining cookies on top.
