Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, blending well until fully incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is just combined.
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cookies have cooled, take a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream and place it between two cookies. Gently press together to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Wrap each ice cream cookie sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1-2 hours to allow them to firm up before serving. Enjoy your delicious treat!
Notes
These sandwiches are best enjoyed on the day they are made, but they can be stored in the freezer for a delightful treat later!
