My kids are obsessed with this giant chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich! It’s a show-stopping treat excellent for every occasion. Tastes amazing and is super easy to whip up!
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- ¾ c. (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/3 c. milk chocolate chips (or dark)
- 1 and ¼ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 quarts of vanilla bean ice cream
- optional: mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for the side of the cookie sandwich
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. After greasing lightly two 9-inch springform pans, line them with parchment paper.
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, place the butter and sugars. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Next, add the egg along with the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat well before stirring in the baking soda and salt. Then, slowly add in the flour, mixing until completely blended. Lastly, mix in 1 1/4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/3 c of milk or dark chocolate chips.
Step 3: In half, divide the dough and press the cookie dough into the prepared springform pans. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown and almost set. Remove from the oven when done and allow the cookie dough to cool in the springform pans on a wire rack.
TO ASSEMBLE:
Step 4: Using two pieces of plastic wrap, line one of the 9-inch springform pans and make a T-shape with an overhang on the sides. Do this once the cookies are cool and set. In the bottom of the pan, invert one cookie top side down. Add a smooth layer of the softened ice cream using a rubber spatula. On top, gently place another cookie, top side up, slightly pressing it down until it is even. Wrap the top of the cookie cake with plastic wrap. Keep in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 5: To serve, add the mini chocolate chips or sprinkles to the sides. Allow it to soften for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
