• Roll out dough between wax paper into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Remove top paper; use the bottom to flip dough onto prepared sheet. Score into 20 squares with a paring knife. Pierce holes over squares.
• Bake until just firm, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Cut into squares; let cool completely.
• Sandwich ice cream between 2 cookies. Wrap in plastic; freeze to set, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve plain, or place on plates, and drizzle with hot fudge.
