Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, take a scoop of ice cream (about 2 tablespoons) and sandwich it between two cookies. Gently press the cookies together until the ice cream spreads to the edges.
Wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment and freeze for 1-2 hours to firm up.
Serve immediately out of the freezer and enjoy!
