Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with a mixer on medium speed until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the flat side.
Top with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich.
Gently press together and smooth the edges of the ice cream with a spoon or knife if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
Wrap each ice cream cookie sandwich individually in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
