Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mix)
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream (or preferred flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined. Stir in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool cookies on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Allow ice cream to soften slightly. Scoop and form rounds matching cookie size; freeze scoops for 15–30 minutes.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing ice cream between two cookies, pressing gently. Optionally roll edges in sprinkles or nuts.
- Freeze assembled sandwiches at least 1 hour before serving. Store wrapped individually in freezer-safe containers.
Notes
- Chill dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading.
