Instructions

Prepare cookie dough

In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Combine dry ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.

Chill dough

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Pro tip: Chilling helps prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Bake cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop large balls of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the sheets, spacing them apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden. Let cool completely.

Pro tip: Cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Prepare ice cream

Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes.

Pro tip: This makes it easier to spread onto the cookies.

Assemble sandwiches

Spread a generous scoop of ice cream onto the flat side of a cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Press gently to adhere.

Pro tip: Work quickly to prevent ice cream from melting.

Freeze sandwiches

Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.

Pro tip: Freezing helps the sandwiches hold their shape.
