The CHIPS AHOY! Chewy Ice Cream Sandwich cookies are a limited-edition version of the brand's signature treats that take on a new summery inspiration to work well for fans to try out this season.
The cookies feature the soft-baked texture of the original CHIPS AHOY! Chewy cookies and are paired with a creme filling on the inside that will call to mind the classic ice cream sandwich. The cookies are thus great for enjoyment straight out of the pack, but can also be refrigerated or even frozen for an ice cream sandwich alternative.
The CHIPS AHOY! Chewy Ice Cream Sandwich cookies are priced at $5.29 for a 9.9-ounce pack, but are only slated to be stocked for 12 weeks to encourage shoppers to pick them up while they can.
