Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • vanilla ice cream (about 4 cups or 1/2 cup per ice cream sandwich depending on size)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two baking pans with baking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • To a large bowl add butter, light brown sugar and vanilla. Whip using an electric mixer on medium high speed until creamy.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time beating well after each addition. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a separate medium bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl mixing until fully combined.
  • By hand, mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop with a medium size scoop dividing the dough into 16 even portions. Place onto the prepared pan at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden and centers are cooked through. Place baked cookies into the freezer for 20 minutes to cool completely.
  • After cookies have cooled, scoop vanilla ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie then sandwich placing another on top. Squeeze gently together.
  • Enjoy immediately or freeze in an airtight container until serving.
