The “ice cream” sandwiches look great. One of my kids is off gluten and dairy products, so this might work well for him with a little tweaking of the spelt for other types of flour.

One note, though: It’s unfortunate that they look so much like chocolate chip cookies, as folks will probably create unwarranted taste comparisons to the real deal. You’re right to say carob is carob, and not chocolate.

Wow – yum. Thanks for sharing!

And yes, I too get the chocolate question all too often. Oddly enough, I’ve also been blamed for the existence of carob more than once…like it wouldn’t exist if vegans didn’t.
