Nathanael’s famous Ice Cream Sandwiches

One of the 10,564,245 blessings of having so many siblings is there is always somebody to bake when your in need of a sweet treat! 😉 I have a sweet tooth. Okay, it’s a HUGE sweet tooth! When Nathanael{age 10} said he wanted to make Chocolate Chip Ice cream Sandwiches I doubted whether he would really follow through and make them. He planned and searched allrecipes for the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie recipe and I still doubted. He double & triple checked our ice cream supply{yep, I was still a little doubtful}, he patiently waited for Friday to come and then he conquered! Needless to say, I  was shocked. 😉 And a little more than slightly surprised by how exquisite these cookies looked. But proof is in the bite, right? Well, they tasted even better than they looked! Bravo Nathanael! 🙂 So, today’s recipe is brought to y’all by Nathanael. I think he is a keeper! 😉

Yields 12-13 extremely large Cookie Sandwiches!

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
5. Slightly soften icecream and scoop a healthy scoop onto 1 cookie. Then top it off with another cookie!
6. Repeat with remaining cookies. Place back in freezer and allow soft icecream to harden!
7. Gather your favorite people and ENJOY!!
