Description
Cookie ice cream sandwiches are a delightful treat that combines soft, chewy cookies with creamy ice cream, perfect for summer parties or family dessert nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cookies are cool, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the flat side of one cookie, top with another cookie, and gently press together to form a sandwich. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter and dairy-free ice cream.
- Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
