Prep Time: 20 minutes

Freeze Time: 2–3 hours

Total Time: ~3 hours, including freezing

Servings: Makes 6–8 sandwiches

Ingredients:

For Edible Cookie Dough:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk (more if needed)
2 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour*
1½ cups mini chocolate chips
½ tsp salt
*To heat-treat flour: microwave it in a bowl for 1–2 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria.

For Assembly:

1½ quarts vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor), slightly softened

Instructions:

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Mix in vanilla, salt, and milk. Gradually stir in heat-treated flour until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square pan with parchment. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
Spread softened ice cream evenly over the cookie dough base. Freeze for 10–15 minutes until slightly firm.
Press the remaining cookie dough over the ice cream layer. Cover and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
Lift out of the pan using parchment, cut into squares, and enjoy immediately or store wrapped in the freezer.

Serving Suggestions:

Roll the edges in extra mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for a fun touch.
Serve with chocolate drizzle or whipped cream.

Tips:

Let the ice cream soften just enough to spread — not melt.
For cleaner cuts, warm the knife under hot water and dry before slicing.
