Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups Ice cream (any flavor of your choice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (from the medium bowl) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop 16 equal-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
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 cooled, take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Place a scoop of ice cream (about 1/4 cup) on the flat side of one cookie. Gently press the flat side of another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade ice cream sandwiches!
