Chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches
Description
The recipe starts with a classic cookie dough featuring butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and a balance of leavening agents and salt to create a soft, flavorful cookie base. Chocolate chips are added before the dough is portioned and chilled to control spread during baking. Baking at a moderate temperature results in cookies that are golden around the edges but still tender inside, offering a soft bite suitable for sandwiching ice cream. Cooling the cookies completely before assembly is important to prevent melting. Using your choice of ice cream allows for flavor customization, making these sandwiches adaptable to different tastes and occasions.
The final assembly involves placing a scoop of ice cream between two cookies, forming sandwiches that combine a chewy exterior with a creamy cold center. These treats serve well as a casual dessert or a cooling snack. Properly cooled cookies and firm ice cream ensure the sandwiches hold their shape until served.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups butter room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks
- Ice cream for serving, of your choice
Instructions
- In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Beat in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
- Slowly add the flour and baking powder, scraping down the bowl occasionally until all the flour has been incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºc and line 3 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Using a small ice cream scoop (or a tablespoon), place small (just smaller then a golf ball) scoops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly to allow for spreading.
- Place the cookie dough in the fridge until the oven is pre-heated.
- Place the baking sheets into the oven and allow to bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown but still soft in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and allow to chill for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- When the cookies are cool, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days (if they last that long) or sandwiched with ice cream.
- Serve immediately OR wrap in baking/wax paper and place in the freezer until ready to serve.
