Instructions
To bake the chocolate chip cookies:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside
- Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
- Beat sugar and butter until fluffy. Couple of minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix until completely incorporated.
- Add vanilla.
- Add Coffee Liquor.
- Turn off mixer. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and blend on low speed until just incorporated.
- Add all the chocolate chips and fold in gently.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop the cookie dough onto the parchment line baking sheet leaving space for cookies to spread while baking.
- Bake 13-16 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool cookies.
To assemble the ice cream sandwiches:
- Using the same ice cream scoop, scoop softened ice cream of your choice on to the flat side of one cookie and then gently place a second cookie on top. Gently squeeze together.
- Eat right away or place in an air tight container and store in the freezer.
Notes
You can use softened, store bought ice cream to save a step in making this treat. But if you have the time (and inclination) I highly recommend making your own ice cream as well.
