Instructions

Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position for even baking.

Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Pro tip: Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother cookie texture.

Cream butter and sugars

In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.

Pro tip: Use room temperature ingredients for best results.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

Bake the cookies

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Spread each portion onto the prepared baking sheets, forming large, even rectangles. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.

Assemble the sandwich

Spread the softened ice cream evenly over one cookie layer. Top with the second cookie layer, pressing gently. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to spread the ice cream smoothly.
