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 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 pint (473ml) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are golden on the edges but soft in the center.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cookies are cool, scoop about 1/4 cup of softened vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie and press gently to spread the ice cream evenly.
  11. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Use room temperature eggs and butter for better dough consistency. Soften ice cream slightly before assembling for easier scooping. Wrap sandwiches tightly to prevent freezer burn.
