Variations on these cookies:

* If you are not vegan, feel free to use butter or ghee instead of coconut oil.
* Tip: If you want to make the ice cream layer evenly, then you can place a scoop of ice cream inside a biscuit cutter that is the same size as your cookies. Carefully remove and repeat for the amount of ice cream layers you need. Then, freeze for 30-45 minutes until solid and make your sandwiches.
