→ Wet Ingredients
04 -
227 grams unsalted butter, softened

100 grams granulated sugar
06 -
165 grams brown sugar, packed
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Other
09 -
200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 -
Kosher salt, for finishing
11 -
Cookies & Cream ice cream
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract until well blended.
03 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for even distribution.
04 -
Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This resting period develops flavor and improves texture.
05 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and arrange them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of kosher salt while warm. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for 15 to 30 minutes.
06 -
Once the cookies have cooled thoroughly, pair them in similar sizes. Place a generous layer of Cookies & Cream ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.
07 -
Serve the sandwiches immediately as a fresh treat, or wrap each individually in plastic wrap and freeze for later enjoyment.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Chilling the dough for at least 24 hours greatly enhances both flavor and texture.
02 -
For best results, freeze cookies after baking before assembling to prevent melting.
03 -
Allow cookies to cool completely prior to sandwich assembly for clean edges and easy handling.
