Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If you like, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Assembly

- Repeat this process with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
- Serve immediately or wrap and freeze for later.
Notes
These sandwiches are best served right after assembling. After freezing, let them soften slightly before serving. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
