Ease of Preparation: Easy
Yield: 4 ice cream sandwiches
Ingredients:
½ cup (120 ml) butter, room temperature
1 cup (240 ml) loosely packed brown sugar
1/3 cup (80 ml) white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
½ cup (120 ml) semisweet chocolate chunks
12 ounces (355 ml) vanilla ice cream
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
In a large bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Stir in egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until combined. Spoon 1-ounce (30 ml) scoops of dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then press chocolate chunks into top of cookie. Put in oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven, transfer cookies to a cooling rack, and put in fridge to chill for 10 minutes. Put a 3-ounce (90 ml) scoop of ice cream on top of 1 cookie, then press another cookie on top and serve. Repeat until you have 4 ice cream sandwiches.
