Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix again until fully incorporated.In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients while mixing.Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to place portions of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies turn lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before assembling the sandwiches.Cooling is important so the ice cream does not melt during assembly.
- Place a scoop of ice cream on the flat side of one cookie. Gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich.Repeat this step until all sandwiches are assembled.
- Place the assembled ice cream cookie sandwiches on a tray and freeze for 1 to 2 hours until the ice cream becomes firm.This step helps the sandwiches hold their shape and improves the texture.

Notes
- Slightly underbaking the cookies helps keep them soft when frozen.
- Vanilla ice cream works best, but chocolate or cookies-and-cream are also great options.
- Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap before storing to prevent freezer burn.
- Homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
