Description
A nostalgic frozen treat featuring soft chocolate cookies sandwiching creamy vanilla ice cream. Easy to make at home with simple ingredients and a chewy, bite-friendly texture.
Ingredients
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup sifted Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
6 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and lightly coat with vegetable oil spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder until smooth and lump-free.
- In another bowl, mix butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add dry ingredients and milk, stirring into a thick batter.
- Scoop 12 portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–10 minutes until tops are no longer glossy. Tap the pan on the counter to flatten cookies and cool for 15 minutes.
- Freeze cookies on the baking sheet for 15 minutes until firm.
- Remove cookies, poke 10–12 small holes in each, then return to freezer until ready to assemble.
- Place one cookie upside down, add a scoop of ice cream, and top with another cookie. Repeat for all sandwiches.
- Serve immediately or wrap and freeze for about 3 hours for a firmer texture.
Notes
Swap vanilla ice cream with chocolate, mint, coffee, or cookies and cream for variation.
Roll edges in sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies for extra texture.
Add a pinch of espresso powder to deepen chocolate flavor.
Store wrapped sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if too firm.
