Ice Cream Sandwiches

1 package cake mix (any flavor - I did strawberry and chocolate)

1/3 cup shortening

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 large egg

1 tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 gallon ice cream (I made my own and did chocolate and vanilla so then had 4 combinations)

Combine all but ice cream until well blended. This is VERY thick. They rolled theirs out....so I used the Pampered Chef ice cream sandwich makers. That hardest part was spreading the batter. They got 32 squares out of theirs by rolling and cutting. I got a dozen.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until cooked. Theirs puffed and then they pricked them. The PC ones do that for you.

Fill with ice cream (the PC ones make this easy) in sandwich form. Freeze and then serve frozen.

Makes 12-16 servings (they got 16, I got 12).
