These homemade ice cream sandwiches combine the deliciousness of chewy chocolate chip cookies with the creamy goodness of ice cream. A perfect treat for any occasion!
Ingredients:For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Ice Cream:
1 pint vanilla ice cream (or flavor of choice)
Instructions:1. Make the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches:
Once the cookies are completely cool, take a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place it on the flat side of one cookie.
Top with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
3. Freeze:
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up the ice cream. You can wrap them in plastic wrap for storage.
