Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
  • 1 ¼ cups (6 ¼ oz/177 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) butter, melted
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ¾ oz/106 g) dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 oz/85 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (4 ½ oz/128 g) mini chocolate chips
For the Filling
  • 1 pint (16 oz/450 g) vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
To Make the Cookies
  1. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar and whisk by hand vigorously for about 1 minute.
  3. Whisk the egg into the sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine, then fold in the chocolate chips.

  5. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 1 hour (and up to 2 days).
To Bake the Cookies
  1. Set the oven to fan assist and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the dough into 16 equally sized balls, about 2 tablespoons each and arrange 8 on each sheet.
  3. Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes, until the edges are set and the cookie is beginning to turn golden brown throughout, but still doughy in the middle.
  4. Once out of the oven bang the hot pan on the counter a few times to create crinkles on top of the cookie. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Place the cookies in a single layer on a tray and freeze until they are very cold and the chocolate has firmed up, about 1 hour.
Assembling the Ice cream Sandwiches
  1. Place the mini chocolate chips on a shallow plate.
  2. Remove 2 cookies from the freezer. Place one scoop (about ¼ cup/2 oz/57 g) of vanilla ice cream on the underside of one cookie.
  3. Sandwich it with the second cookie and press the cookies together until the ice cream comes to the edges of the cookies .
  4. Cover the exposed edges of the ice cream with mini chocolate chips, either by rolling in the chips or pressing in with your hands, and then return the sandwich to the tray in the freezer while you repeat with the remaining cookies.

  5. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. If you want to store for longer then wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and then transfer to an airtight container and store for up to 3 weeks.
