Pistachio Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Chewy brown-butter pistachio cookies filled with creamy pistachio gelato and edged with chopped roasted pistachios.
These make-ahead sandwiches pair chewy brown-butter cookies with pistachio gelato. The long freezing time gives them a clean, firm shape.

Ago's Notes
- For neat layers, shape the ice cream into a cookie-width log, freeze until firm, then slice it into rounds.
- Freeze the assembled sandwiches until firm; let them soften briefly before eating if frozen solid.
Brown butter, pistachio, dark chocolate, and cold gelato make every bite rich, nutty, and crisp-edged.
