Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola, vegetable, or coconut oil

  • 8 skewers

  • Toppings of your choice, such as royal icing, colorful candies, or nuts

Directions
  1. Step 1

    Place the cookies on a sheet tray lined with wax paper, bottom side up.

  2. Step 2

    Place small ¾-ounce scoops of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on 8 of the 16 cookies.

    Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Place the chopped white chocolate in a tall microwavable glass and melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring in between until melted.
