Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 ice cream (any flavor of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, take a scoop of your favorite ice cream and sandwich it between two cookies. Press gently to help the ice cream spread to the edges.
- Wrap and Freeze: If not serving immediately, wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
