Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled to room temperature
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 sp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

For the Cookie Dough Ice Cream:

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
  • ½ cup cookie dough pieces (from the homemade cookie dough above)

Instructions
 

Brown the Butter for Extra Flavor

  • Start by browning the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature until it solidifies again. This step adds a rich, caramel-like flavor to your cookies—trust me, it’s worth it!

Make the Cookie Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking again until fully incorporated.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then gently fold the mixture until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Set aside about ½ cup of the dough for the ice cream, and refrigerate the rest for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Ice Cream

  • While the cookie dough chills, line a 9x11 baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream into an even 1½- to 2-inch-thick layer.
  • Take the reserved cookie dough and roll it into small balls. Scatter them throughout the ice cream layer, gently folding them in if needed. Freeze the ice cream for at least 1 hour.

Bake the Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to portion out the dough, placing the balls about 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  • Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. While the cookies are still warm, use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to shape them into perfect circles. Let the cookies cool completely.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Remove the ice cream from the freezer and use the same 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles of ice cream. Sandwich each ice cream round between two cookies.
  • Place the assembled sandwiches back in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
