Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 9x13-inch baking pans with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared pans. Spread it out into an even layer in each pan using a spatula.
Bake the cookie layers in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pans.
Once the cookie layers are cool, lift one layer out using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a flat surface. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the top of this cookie layer.
Gently lift the second cookie layer out of its pan using the parchment paper overhang and carefully place it on top of the ice cream layer, pressing down gently to stick the layers together.
Wrap the entire sandwich block tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Once frozen solid, remove the block from the freezer and unwrap. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 sandwich bars. To make cutting easier, dip the knife in warm water and wipe it clean between cuts.
Serve immediately or wrap the individual sandwiches in plastic wrap or parchment paper and return them to the freezer for storage. These can be stored for up to one month.
