I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!
Recently Whole Foods had an Ice Cream sale and I bought six cartons. I figured it was a present for my future self, it was a great idea.
But with so much Ice Cream, what was I to do with it?
I started to experiment and this is my favorite creation!
This is the perfect recipe for having your friends over or just enjoying with your family. This elevates the typical Ice Cream sandwich and makes it a gourmet experience.
So for this recipe, you can just grab all of the toppings already in your pantry, the following are the toppings I love to have on hand (when I have a party, let’s be real I don’t just have these, or else I would be eating them right now).
Grab your favorite cookies and use them for your sandwiches. My favorite is this chocolate chip recipe that I’ve shared below. Make sure the cookies aren’t warm at all when you put the ice cream in the middle, so it doesn’t melt before you want it to. I made these cookies the other day and my sister turned to me and said, “You should only make these cookies ever.” I completely agree, and I know you’ll agree too.
This recipe is what every chocolate chip cookie should be, both a little crispy, but still chewy, doughy and yet baked perfectly. And you want that hint of salt and sugar to go with it! (See below for how to make these chocolate chip cookies for the sandwich).
To have fun with your friends, put out a bunch of different bowls of toppings and your guests or family can add the toppings to the ice cream part of the sandwich.
The easiest way to create the sandwich is to cut the ice cream pint directly. You take the ice cream pint out of the freezer and grab a big knife and cut the pint into ½ inch thick circles. You can then peel off the paper from the pint and you have a perfect circle of ice cream to fit on your cookies.
For the Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 2 sticks of butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 bag of chocolate chips or however many you can fit into the recipe!
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Cream the butter and the brown and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on low until they are light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and the eggs and mix them into the creamed butter mixture.
- Then, in a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, the flour, baking soda, and salt, and then slowly pour them into the butter mixture and mix together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and make 1 inch balls of dough.
- Flatten each ball a little bit
- Bake for 15 minutes, the cookies will look a little doughy still, but then let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely
