Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar or light brown sugar will do
  • ¼ cup muscovado sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups all-purpose flour

Ice Cream

  • 64 oz vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Mix

  • Cream the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and muscovado sugar. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.

Mini Chocolate Chips

  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with Reynolds wrap to a pan that is 12.5 x 6. I used my biscotti pan, or a flat pan with at least a 2 in height. Leave the sides up so it's easier to pull when done.
  • Scoop the dough and spread it evenly onto the pan, making sure it is even all over so it cooks evenly.

Bake

  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. You want to check this regularly so it's not too soft and not too hard.
  • You should be able to poke, and it should indent in the center a little
  • Let it cool a little, then lift and place on a rack to cool completely.

Assemble Your Ice Cream Sandwich

  • Pick your favorite ice cream flavors.
  • Cut the cookie slab in half.
  • Add a generous scoop of ice cream to the flat side.
  • Gently press the second cookie slab on top.
  • Wrap with cyrine wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Freeze for the Perfect Texture

  • Take the cookie slab out of the freezer. With a bread knife, slice into even squares. I was able to slice 12 pieces.
  • Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container.
  • Freeze until firm so the cookies and ice cream set together perfectly.
  • This step is key; it gives you that classic, clean bite just like store-bought treats, but way more delicious!!!

Notes

Tips for the Best Results
* Slightly underbake your cookies for softer, chewier cookies
* Experiment with different flavors of ice cream combinations
* Add mix-ins like crushed cookies or candy pieces for a fun twist
* Make your favorite ice cream with an ice cream maker.
* Roll the edges in rainbow sprinkles or extra mini chocolate chips using a shallow bowl.
