A sandwiching machine for use in applying a semi-frozen comestible such as ice cream, to a row of cookies traveling along said sandwiching machine. The sandwiching machine includes stencil means on the frame for applying the semi-frozen comestible to the cookie in a uniform manner. The stencil means comprises supply means for supplying semi-frozen comestible, return means for the semi-frozen comestible, and shut-off and by-pass valve means for controlling the flow of semi-frozen comestible to a cookie when the valve means is open and for diverting semi-frozen comestible from the supply means to the return means when the valve means is closed. Preferably, the stencil means are fed from each end and a stationary central valve seals the supply means and return means at each side of the stencil means from one another, whereby two adjacent rows of cookies may be supplied with ice cream.
