Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (or mix-ins of choice)

For the Ice Cream Filling:

  • 1 quart (4 cups) ice cream of choice, slightly softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Make cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins to evenly distribute.
  3. Bake cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges become golden brown. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks.
  4. Assemble sandwiches: Once cookies are fully cooled, take one cookie and place a generous scoop of slightly softened ice cream on its flat side. Top with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich without squeezing out the ice cream.
  5. Freeze: Wrap each completed ice cream cookie sandwich in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow the ice cream to firm up and hold the sandwich shape.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your gourmet ice cream cookie sandwiches straight from the freezer as a delightful treat for parties, gatherings, or just a sweet indulgence at home.

Notes

  • For best results, slightly soften the ice cream before assembling so it’s easier to scoop and spread.
  • You can customize the cookies by substituting mix-ins such as nuts, M&Ms, or dried fruit instead of chocolate chips.
  • Store wrapped sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
  • Allow sandwiches to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating if they are too hard from the freezer.
  • If you want crispy cookies, bake a couple of minutes longer, but the chewy cookie complements ice cream best.
