Ingredients
Units
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 1/3 cup Brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Graham crackers finely crushed
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sandwich Filling & Topping:
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream or flavor of choice
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips sprinkles, or chopped nuts
Instructions
Make the Dough:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
- Cream butter and sugars until light, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla.
- Whisk flour, crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda; add to butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake the Cookies:
- Scoop dough (1½ Tbsp each) onto sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
- Bake 12–13 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
Cool Completely:
- Let cookies cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cookies must reach room temperature before assembly.
Assemble Sandwiches:
- Soften ice cream 5–10 minutes at room temperature.
- Place one cookie upside down, top with ~⅓ cup ice cream, then another cookie right-side up.
Press & Roll:
- Gently press to spread ice cream to the edges. Roll exposed ice cream in chips, sprinkles, or nuts.
Wrap & Freeze:
- Wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or parchment.
- Freeze at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Notes
-
Soft Cookies: The added cornstarch and extra yolk keep the cookies chewy when frozen.
-
Flavor Variations: Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate, strawberry, or mint chip.
-
Make-Ahead: Complete through Step 3, cover, and refrigerate dough or baked cookies up to 24 hours.
-
Storage: Wrapped sandwiches keep up to 1 week in the freezer.
-
Extra Toppings: Crushed candy, toffee bits, or toasted coconut also work wonderfully.
