Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 quart (approx. 950ml) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon or fingers.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes until cookies are golden around edges but still soft in the center.
  8. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, scoop about 2 tablespoons (30g) of slightly softened ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Wipe any excess ice cream from edges.
  10. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or wax paper and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

If kitchen is warm, chill dough for 15 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Use room temperature butter for best texture. Flatten dough balls slightly before baking. Let ice cream soften for 5 minutes before assembling. Wrap sandwiches individually to avoid freezer burn. Cookies can be baked ahead and stored at room temperature; assemble just before serving. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free ice cream.
