Method
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl prepare the flour mixture by whisking together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine and Form the Dough:
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to form a dough.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Chill the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Chilling the dough enhances the flavor and texture of the cookies.
Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of kosher salt while they are still warm.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for at least 15-30 minutes.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Once the cookies have cooled completely (for best results freeze your cookies), take one cookie and spread a generous layer of Cookies & Cream ice cream on the flat side.
- Top with another cookie, flat side down, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your ice cream cookie sandwiches immediately for a fresh treat, or wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for later enjoyment.
