Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches are one of our favorite summer treats. I love this dessert for several reasons. First of all, I like that these can be made well in advance and that they keep in the freezer for weeks. Secondly, I like that these sandwiches are on the small size. That way, they’re perfect for for when we just want a small dessert. And, lastly, I love how yummy these sandwiches are. The crisp chocolate cookies, creamy vanilla ice cream, and fun sprinkles make this a truly scrumptious sandwich.

The Equipment I Used

Baking Sheets- I always use the heavy Nordic Ware half sheet baking pans for my cookies.
Parchment Paper- You’ll need to line your baking sheets with this.
An Electric Mixer- In order to get the butter and sugar well creamed, you’ll need a mixer.
A Kitchen Scale- For perfect baking results, please weigh your flour and sugar.
A Double Boiler- Use this to melt your chocolate.
An Ice Cream Scoop- You’ll need this to make nice round scoops of ice cream.

Flour- Be sure and use all purpose flour.
Ice Cream- I used vanilla Hagan Dazs.
Chocolate- Use bittersweet chocolate. I used Ghiradelli.
Sugar- Be sure and use granulated sugar.
Coffee- Use brewed coffee.

How I Made my Ice Cream Sandwiches

First, I sifted together my dry ingredients. This insures that everything is well combined.
Next, I melted together the chocolate and butter. Be sure to not overcook this mixture. It should just be barely melted.
Then, I used my mixer to beat the egg, sugar, vanilla, and coffee. Be sure and beat this for the full four minutes.
Next, I added the flour. Be careful not to overmix.
Then, I dropped even sized dough circles on my pans.
Finally, after the cookies cooled, I assembled my sandwiches.

Equipment

electric mixer

Ingredients

⅓ cup all purpose flour
¼ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large egg
6 tbsp. granulated sugar (72g)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. brewed coffee
1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
In the top of a double boiler, over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from the heat as soon as the chocolate is melted.
With an electric mixer, beat together the egg, sugar, vanilla, and coffee. Beat on high speed for four minutes.
On low speed, gradually add the chocolate mixer. Then, add the flour, and beat on low just until no streaks remain.
Drop the batter, which will be loose, in one tablespoon amounts. Make sure each drop is in a round circle, and that they're all about the same size.
Bake one sheet at a time for 12 minutes each. Cool on a wire rack.
When the cookies are cool, make sandwiches with small scoops of ice cream. Roll in the sprinkles. Freeze until firm, for about two hours.
