Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each dough ball.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should still look slightly underbaked to ensure soft cookies.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, take one cookie as the base, place a scoop of ice cream (about 1/4 cup) on the flat side, and gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
Repeat for the remaining cookies and ice cream.
Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes to allow the ice cream to firm up.
Serve immediately once set, and enjoy!
