Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 2 cups (480 mL) ice cream (your choice of flavor, e.g., vanilla, chocolate, or cookie dough)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop to place rounded balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still slightly gooey.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. Once cookies are completely cool, place a scoop of ice cream between two cookies and gently press them together. Optionally, roll the edges in extra chocolate chips.
  11. Place assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.
