FINISHING
With CC, seam the bottom edge of the ice cream lining to the bottom edge of the cookies. With CC, stitch the cookies to the lining along the inner edges only, to create pockets. There will be approximately ½" of lining visible between the cookies.

Attach the button to the outer edge of the first cookie, opposite the buttonhole. Be sure to attach the button to the WS of the cookie—that is the side of the cookie that will be on the inside of the case, once closed.
Weave in ends.
Fold the whole thing in half, fill it up, and button it
to secure. Tasty.

You can get creative with your color
combinations: dark brown cookie with
a green liner for mint chocolate, or
light brown cookie with a pink liner for
strawberry.
