Now listen, I know chocolate chip cookies are aplenty out there on the web and almost every one says that theirs is the very best. And you know what? I can’t say they’re not but what I can tell you is that of ALL the chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever baked (more than I care to admit), these have been the very best in flavour and texture every.single.time. They have a really rich, buttery flavour accented by the caramelly notes in the light brown sugar, a little vanilla and those delectable chunks of chocolate. And even though these cookies are fabulous on their own, sandwiching them with generous scoops of ice cream takes them to a whole other level and turns them into the ultimate Summer dessert or indulgent snack. I suggest making the ice cream sandwiches ahead of time to make things easy and then keep them in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. Kids and adults alike will fall over themselves for these, guaranteed.
How to make chocolate chip cookies
Beat together white and brown sugar with softened butter until light and fluffy. Using both white and brown sugar gives you a molasses-kind of depth from the brown sugar and crispness from the white sugar. Add eggs and vanilla then stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks and place scoops of dough onto parchment lined sheets. Refrigerate the dough while the oven is pre-heating. Bake the cookies until golden brown and firm around the edges but still soft in the center. This will result in chewy chocolate chip cookies. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before sandwiching with ice cream.
How to prevent cookies from spreading
Refrigerating the dough before baking will prevent cookie dough from spreading. Too much baking powder in a recipe can also cause cookies to spread.
Can you freeze chocolate chip cookie dough?
Chocolate chip cookie dough freezes beautifully. Once mixed, place scoops of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets then freeze the dough and then transfer to freezer bags or containers once frozen. Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Place frozen dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake from frozen until golden brown.

Guess what today is? It is our little Maxwell’s 2nd birthday! Yay! We can’t believe he is two years old. Time sure flies when you are having fun and Maxwell is ALL fun. His adorable little smile and laugh are contagious and he makes us laugh every single day. He brings us so much joy and we are so happy we get to celebrate him today. Maxwell LOVED the Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies we made last weekend so I thought they would make the perfect treat for his birthday. But since it is his birthday we are going ALL out and making Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Oh, yeah!
The sprinkle chocolate chip cookies are the base to our ice cream sandwiches and they are so fun and delicious. They are the perfect chocolate chip cookies.
Add vanilla ice cream to the party and WOW! Best dessert EVER! We rolled the ice cream sandwiches in sprinkles because you can never have enough sprinkles, especially when you are celebrating a birthday.
The cookies are soft, the ice cream is creamy and cool, and the sprinkles are bright, colorful, and FUN!
The ice cream sandwiches do get a little messy, but that is ok. They are so worth it! Eat them outside in the summer sun and you won’t even have to clean up. They are the perfect summer dessert. Oh, and you can make the ice cream sandwiches in advance, which is great if you want to serve these at a party. Make the ice cream sandwiches, wrap them in plastic wrap, and keep them in the freezer until you are ready to eat them. We used vanilla ice cream, but any ice cream flavor will work. You can also use any color of sprinkles. Our Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches are waiting for us in the freezer, we are going to party tonight. Happy birthday Maxwellie! We love you!
