Cool, refreshing mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiched between soft, chewy cookies. A perfect homemade summer treat that’s easy to make and loved by all ages.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) sugar (can substitute half with brown sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 cup (175 grams) mini chocolate chips
  • About 1 quart (950 ml) mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly to about 2 ½ inches in diameter.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
  11. Soften the mint chocolate chip ice cream for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
  12. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (30 grams) of ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie and gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Repeat for all cookies.
  13. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to keep cookies thick and prevent spreading. Use mini chocolate chips for even chocolate distribution and better texture. Soften ice cream about 5 minutes before assembling to avoid mess. Wrap sandwiches tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn. Can be adapted for gluten-free and dairy-free diets by substituting ingredients accordingly.
