Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

By MIO Coalition August 2023

Ingredients

1 cup Hiland unsalted butter
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 Hansen’s eggs
1 tablespoon Griffin’s vanilla
3 ½ cups Shawnee Mills all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Braum’s vanilla ice cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, then mix into the creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Place 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto baking sheet, allowing for approximately 9 cookies per sheet. Slightly flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden brown. Don’t overbake. Cool 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Once cooled, sandwich cookies with scoops of Braum’s ice cream. Eat immediately. Or, to store, wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, and then place in a large freezer bag, and keep in freezer. Slightly underbake cookies to keep them soft and chewy, even once frozen.
