Ingredients

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113 g)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150 g)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (1 g)
• 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (135 g)

For the Filling:

• 1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened (470 ml)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (90 g) for coating

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the cookie dough: Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until combined. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and mini chocolate chips until a soft dough forms.
3. Bake the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9–11 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool completely before assembling.
4. Add the ice cream: Place a generous scoop of softened vanilla ice cream on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and gently press together to spread the filling evenly.
5. Coat the edges: Roll the exposed ice cream edges in mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
6. Freeze: Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Serve: Remove from the freezer for 2–3 minutes before serving and enjoy the perfect combination of chewy cookies and creamy vanilla ice cream.
