Preheat oven to 350.

Coat 2 baking sheets with a nonstick cooking spray. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, cardamom, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

Process together butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add flour mixture and process. Slowly add oats, mixing well. Put the remaining granulated sugar in a bowl.

Scoop up 2 tablespoons of the dough, roll into a ball, then into the remaining sugar. Place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten to about 3 inches in diameter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

For each bar place a 1/2 cup scoop of ice cream between 2 cookies, bottom inward. Press together so the ice cream spreads to the edge.

Wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer until ready to serve.
