Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups ice cream of choice (e.g., vanilla, cookie dough)
Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, cream together softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft.
Let cookies cool completely before assembling.
Flip half of the cookies upside down, scoop ice cream onto each base, and top with another cookie. Press gently to secure.
