How to make ice cream sandwich cookies

Start with 2 sticks softened butter. And cream in 1 cup each: white sugar and brown sugar

Add two eggs and 2 tsp vanilla

I let that cream for about 5 minutes. Then add: 2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp baking soda

Next the Dutch cocoa. Add 2/3 cup When you start your mixer, be careful and pulse off/on till it gets incorporated. Otherwise you'll have more thrown out, then left in

Just mix till it all comes together

Next add your chocolate chips. I love the seasonal ones for spring but normally I use chocolate chunk and white chocolate. I use two bags

Add your chips and pulse just to blend

Large scoops. And leave a lot of room between cookies bc they get very large. Bake at 350° for about 13 minutes

Be sure to keep an eye on these you don't want to over bake! They're so dark it's hard to tell when they are done. I start checking at about 12 min and by 15 it's usually too done

Place on cooling rack

Then with one cookie, cut in half. Use your favorite ice cream (strawberry is wonderful with these kind!) but I went w vanilla bean

Enjoy!
