Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 pint ice cream (flavor of choice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, pair them by size to make an even number of pairs.
Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie, then gently press the flat side of a matching cookie on top to form a sandwich.
Place the ice cream cookie sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1–2 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
