Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Served this on the weekend , everyone commented on the amount of salt didn’t enjoy them and a lot of work, Just as easy to put ice cream between Cookies

I let the cookie completely cool before assembling. My freezer, and all of its contents are completely covered in ice cream. The cookie is much too heavy to initially firm up if it’s assembled. Maybe let the bottom layer and ice cream firm up before adding the top layer?

These were great. If you buy the ice cream that comes in a box you can cut slices of it instead of softening and spreading. I skipped the mini chocolate chips and didn’t miss them, already pretty decadent.

This recipe is great! I made these and used Breyer's mint chocolate chip ice cream. I so like Samantha's ice cream sandwiches better though since the brownie sandwich is even softer. than these. RE: Coco's comment...one cannot just make any cookie recipe for ice cream sandwiches. If you use a regular cookie (say Tate's) and freeze them, you will break your teeth. Stick to the Times recipes for ice cream sandwiches.

Loved the cookie recipe, but there were two problems: chocolate chips were too big and because they were frozen, solid very hard to chew especially for the little ones. I recommend using mini chocolate chips in the dough. The second problem was that as depicted in the picture the cookie proportion to ice cream was way too large, I’ll suggest you press out the dough to as thin as possible before baking and make sure you put enough ice cream in between the two layers

Made this recipe except used homemade ice cream. Cookie was very hard and result did not go too well

Was very excited to try this and they are delicious! When making next time I’ll omit the step of rolling in the mini-chips/salt combo - it was a pain in the butt and didn’t really add anything. I liked the clean look of the ones I gave up on better. I also cut some of them smaller - like 2” square - perfect snack size!

Wish I had read these notes before investing time in this recipe. Same experience as so many others. I completely cooled the cookie (2 hours). Then added Breyers Natural vanilla. Froze for a day on a 1/4 sheet pan lined with parchment. When I removed from freezer to cut them and roll them in the mini chips, the ice cream was GONE except a small amount oozed out of one end. The bottom layer absorbed it. Bottom cookie now pleasantly soft but too thick. Top layer a bit too hard and thick to serve.

After reading several reviews saying the ice cream filling melted out, I took the time to fully cool the cookie, and even put it in the freezer until it was cold to the touch before adding the ice cream. 2 hours later, I returned to a soggy cookie and oozed out filling .This technique did not work at all. Stick to your classic chip cookie and slice a pint of vanilla into circles and use that. Spreading the ice cream seems to be the trouble. Gets 2 stars because the cookie itself was good.

I must have not cooled the cookie enough before putting the ice cream layer between the two cut rectangles. When I took it out of the freezer to cut into individual sandwiches, all the ice cream had puddled and refrozen around the edge, leaving the uncut, large sandwich as simply two large cookies frozen together. Next time I will cool completely. We will serve the cut ‘sandwiches’ with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Ditto all those who commented on how hard it was to work with such a giant, heavy cookie. By the time I spread the ice cream over the cooled cookie, the weight of it and the entire process made the ice cream melt and run out all over my freezer. It was a giant mess and failure. The cookie dough recipe is great, though. I remade the dough into flat individual cookie shapes and assemble iced cream sandwiches from those. That was so much easier--they were delicious and a huge hit.

It was really difficult to cut through the frozen big square sandwich, making me think that next time I’d make individual cookie squares or circles and fill them with ice cream.

Loved these and so did the kids! I would, however, take them out of the freezer and thaw them unbeknownst to the dessert eaters! They couldn't wait and as a result ate frozen cookies and hard ice cream! ;-)

I wondered if I had the pan size wrong. These were very thick, and with the ice cream, too much to bite into. The frozen cookie was hard to chew, which meant that the ice cream melted before I was finished.

God, what a disaster. I just threw the whole gloopy mess in the trash and had a good cry. My cookie dough was crumbly, when I tried to cut it in half it all fell apart. Ice cream melted quickly. I have no doubt this is all my fault. But im left with a sink of dirty dishes and i still have to go to grocery to buy a back up dessert (Klondike bars to the rescue!).
