Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn light brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, place the cookies in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
Scoop about ¼ cup of softened vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one frozen cookie. Top with another cookie and press gently to sandwich the ice cream. Roll the edges of the sandwich in mini chocolate chips.
Serve immediately or wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Store assembled Chipwiches in the freezer for up to 1 month. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
For chewier cookies, use light brown sugar and avoid overbaking the cookies.
Customize the Chipwich with different ice cream flavors, nuts, or sprinkles.
If making this recipe vegan, substitute the butter with vegan butter and use dairy-free ice cream.
Freeze cookie dough up to 48 hours before baking for convenience.
