Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 quarts Vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 8

Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Soften the vanilla ice cream slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Place a scoop of ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie and gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.

Step 11

Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.

Step 12

Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving to firm up.
