Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (plus more for rolling)
Assembly
- Vanilla ice cream (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined to form the cookie dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Roll the cookie dough into balls and place them onto a baking sheet. Slightly press down each ball to form a flat disc shape ready for baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Freeze Cookies: Place the cooled cookies in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to firm them up before assembly.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Take one frozen cookie and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Then place another cookie on top and gently press together to form a sandwich.
- Finish and Serve: Roll the edges of the sandwich in additional mini chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately or freeze the sandwiches until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure proper mixing and texture.
- Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before freezing to prevent melting during assembly.
- You can substitute vanilla ice cream with any flavor of your choice for variety.
- Store assembled sandwiches in the freezer to keep the ice cream firm until serving.
- Mini chocolate chips on the edges add an extra chocolatey crunch but can be omitted if desired.
