Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter using an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. The dough should be stiff enough to hold its shape.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and press down slightly to form discs.
Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes until set but still soft. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cookies have cooled, remove the gluten-free vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes.
To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, take one cookie and place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on the flat side. Top with another cookie, pressing gently to spread the ice cream evenly between them.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream to make 6 sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving for best results.
