Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Ice Cream Filling:

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
  • 1 cup chocolate shavings (use a peeler to grate chocolate)
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts)
  • 6 fresh cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cookies

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let cool completely.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Prepare Toppings: Mix chocolate shavings and chopped nuts in a shallow bowl.
  2. Add Ice Cream: Scoop softened ice cream onto the flat side of a cooled cookie. Place another cookie on top and press gently to create a sandwich.
  3. Roll in Toppings: Roll the exposed ice cream edges in the chocolate-nut mixture for crunch and flavor.
  4. Freeze: Place the sandwiches on a lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 3: Add Final Touches

Top each sandwich with a fresh cherry before serving for a pop of color and extra sweetness.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Stack the sandwiches on a platter for a beautiful dessert centerpiece.
  • Pair with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or serve alongside fresh berries.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Softened Ice Cream: Let the ice cream soften slightly for easier spreading, but avoid letting it melt completely.
  • Customize Toppings: No nuts? Use sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies.
  • Cookie Alternatives: Use oatmeal raisin or double chocolate cookies for different flavor variations.

Storage and Reheating:

  • Storage: Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
  • No Reheating Needed: Let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving.
