    • Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich

    Is there anything better than a good chocolate chip cookie? Actually, yes! A chocolate chip cookie with ice cream sandwiched right in the middle. These chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches are about to become your favorite summer dessert.

    Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

    Ice cream sandwiches are a must when it comes to summer treats. The best part about this tasty and refreshing dessert is that they are actually pretty simple to make. The hardest part about making these ice cream sandwiches is having the patience to let them chill in the freezer for a little bit.

    This recipe is really easy to customize. Any flavor of ice cream will pair pretty well with the chocolate chip cookie base. Vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and strawberry are classic options.

    When it comes to getting the ice cream out of the container and into the cookie, ditch the spoon. To get the perfect amount of ice cream, it is much easier to use the "slice method." This means taking a pint container of ice cream and slicing it like you would a loaf of bread. It may sound like a strange process, but it makes the sandwiches much easier to make.

    Looking for more summer desserts? These mango and raspberry swirl popsicles and fruit crumble bars will hit the spot.

    Ingredients For Making Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

    Chocolate Chip Cookies

    • Cake Flour - AP flour will work fine if you don't have cake.
    • Butter - Let it sit out to get soft.
    • Brown sugar - Keeps the cookies soft and moist.
    • Chocolate chunks - I like to use chunks for a stronger chocolate flavor.
    • Ice Cream - Vanilla, chocolate, and coffee are classic choices.

    Directions For How To Make Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

    1. Prepare

      Preheat the oven to 375°. Prepare a large baking sheet and set aside.

    2. Make the cookies:

      In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars. Beat the mixture for about 4-5 minutes until it is fluffy and pale in color. Add the eggs, followed by the vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture and then the chocolate chunks.

    3. Bake the cookies.

      Bake the cookies for about 9-12 minutes. Let them cool completely before adding in the ice cream.

    4. Prepare the ice cream.

      Take the pints of ice cream and flip them so they are on their sides. With a sharp serrated knife, cut ½-inch slices off each pint. Each pint of ice cream should yield 4-5 slices. Place the sliced ice cream back in the freezer until the cookies are ready.

    5. Build the ice cream sandwiches.

      When the cookies are fully cool, take one cookie and top it with a slice of ice cream, following another cookie. Roll the ice cream in the mini chocolate chips or topping of choice. Place the sandwiches back in the freezer to set.

    6. Freeze the ice cream sandwiches

      If you want to indulge in the sandwiches right away, freeze them for about 15 minutes. If there is no rush, let them sit overnight. This will ensure that the ice cream sticks to the cookies.

    Serving Suggestions

    There isn't much else to do to make this ice cream sandwich a hit. However, if you feel like getting creative in the kitchen, you can swap out the chocolate chip for sprinkles, nuts, crushed Oreos, or pretty much any ice cream topping. Make them small enough to be able to stick to the sides of the ice cream sandwich.

    Make Ahead and Storage

    These chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches are excellent to keep in the freezer. Make a batch and keep them in the freezer for a treat any time you like. Store them in a plastic bag or airtight container. When ready to eat, let them thaw out for a few minutes to soften.

    Tips and Variations

    • Flavors - Any flavor of ice cream will be tasty between the two chocolate chip cookies. Get creative with mix in flavors or stick to simple vanilla or chocolate.
    • Freezer - The freezer will be your best friend when making these ice cream sandwiches. If you don't want to eat them right away, keep them in the fridge overnight. This will ensure the structure of the sandwich stays together.
    • More Is Less - Don't overstuff the cookies with ice cream. In this situation, a small amount goes a long way. If there is too much ice cream in the sandwich, it will quickly fall apart and spill all over.

    FAQs

    What kind of toppings should I use for my ice cream sandwich?

    Chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed-up cookies are great toppings for ice cream sandwiches.

    Are crispy or chewy cookies better for ice cream sandwiches?

    Both are great options when making ice cream sandwiches. Chewey cookies will absorb the ice cream more as it melts, but both a great options.

    What kind of ice cream should I use in these ice cream sandwiches?

    Vanilla, chocolate, or coffee is always a good choice. Try chocolate chip cookie dough or cookies and cream for a double cookie option!

    Ingredients Method

    Ingredients
      

    Chocolate Chip Cookies
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup cake flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 heaping cups chocolate chunks
    Ice Cream
    • 2 pints ice cream of your choice
    Toppings
    • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

    Method
     

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Prepare a large baking sheet and set aside.
    2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    3. In a large-sized bowl, cream the butter with the sugars. Beat the mixture for about 4-5 minutes, until it is fluffy and pale in color. Add in the eggs in, one at a time making sure they are fully incorporated.
    4. Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg mixture. When the mixture is fully added in, it should have a light brown color. Mix in the chocolate chips.
    5. Drop the dough on the prepared baking sheet. The cookie dough balls should be about 1 tablespoon in size. Try to make them uniform in size so they will be symmetrical for the sandwich.
    6. Bake the cookies for about 9-12 minutes. If you want gooey cookies, take them out around 9-10 minutes. For crispy cookies, take the cookies out of the oven around 6 minutes and bang the cookie sheet on a counter, flattening out the dough. Place the cookies back in the oven and repeat around 10 minutes. The cookies should flatten and have a few circled ridged in them.
    7. After 12 minutes, take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to completely cool.
    8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the ice cream. Take the pints of ice cream and flip it so it is on its side. With a sharp serrated knife, cut ½ inch slices off the pint. Each pint of ice cream should result in 4-5 slices. Place the slices back in the oven until the cookies are completely cool. Set up toppings if using on in a bowl or flat dish.
    9. Once the cookies are ready, build the ice cream sandwich. Take one cookie and top it with a slice of ice cream, following another cookie. Roll the ice cream in the mini chocolate chips or toppings of choice. Place the sandwiches back in the freezer to set.
    10. If you want to indulge in the sandwiches right away, freeze them for about 15 minutes. If there is no rush, let them sit overnight. This will ensure that the ice cream sticks to the cookies.
    11. The cookies will last in the freezer. Just thaw for about 5-6 minutes before eating.
