A quick and easy summer treat featuring soft cookies sandwiching creamy strawberry ice cream, dipped in rich dark chocolate for a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pint (475ml) strawberry ice cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup (175g) good-quality dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or peanuts), sprinkles, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  2. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low speed until just combined. Chill dough for 10 minutes if too sticky.
  3. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough balls (~2 tablespoons each) spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Cool completely on a rack.
  4. Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches: Scoop about ¼ cup (60ml) strawberry ice cream onto one cookie. Top with another cookie and press gently to spread ice cream evenly. Wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
  6. Dip the Sandwiches: Remove sandwiches from freezer. Dip each sandwich halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Immediately sprinkle with optional toppings. Place on parchment-lined tray or cooling rack and freeze 15-20 minutes until chocolate sets.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy straight from freezer. Store wrapped in freezer up to one week.

Notes

Do not overbake cookies to keep them soft and chewy. Use coconut oil in chocolate to keep it glossy and smooth. Freeze sandwiches at least 2 hours before dipping to avoid melting. If chocolate hardens during dipping, warm gently again. For even chocolate coverage, dip quickly and let excess drip naturally.
