Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 quarts Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Soften the vanilla ice cream slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Place a scoop of ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie and gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.
Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving to firm up.
