A simple and classic summer treat featuring soft chocolate chip cookies sandwiching creamy ice cream. Perfect for easy, customizable desserts that are kid-approved and make-ahead friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (312g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (200g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (270g)
  • 1 quart ice cream (950ml), any flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, about 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to portion dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Flatten each slightly with the palm of your hand.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
  10. Assemble sandwiches by scooping about ½ cup (120ml) of ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie, then topping with another cookie. Press gently to spread ice cream evenly.
  11. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Cool cookies completely before assembling to prevent melting. Let ice cream soften slightly for easier spreading. Wrap sandwiches individually to avoid freezer burn. Medium-sized cookies (about 2 ½ inches) work best.
