Ingredients for the Perfect Ice Cream Sandwich
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper, then spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for flavor depth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a uniform chocolate cookie dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 12 evenly sized dough balls onto each prepared sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are soft. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, pair cookies by size. Scoop about ¼ cup of slightly softened vanilla ice cream onto one cookie, then top with its partner. Press gently to spread ice cream to the edges.
- Wrap each assembled sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Tips & Variations
- Chill your scoops: For neater sandwiches, freeze scoops of ice cream on a tray before assembly.
- Flavor twists: Swap vanilla ice cream for strawberry or mint chocolate chip for seasonal flair.
- Double chocolate: Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles before freezing.
- Storage: Keep sandwiches wrapped in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
