We’ve had enough savory food for a while so today I am making The Ultimate Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwich! What makes it The Ultimate? We start with cookie dough flavored ice cream (yes the ice cream itself is made with melted eggless cookie dough, mixed with large chunks of semisweet chocolate and Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Then we sandwich that delicious ice cream with two of the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies you’ll ever eat in your life.
Why? Because we were celebrating the end of summer by having a fantastic BBQ and I couldn’t think of a better dessert to end the season with! There is also the fact that I have been going through a huge period of nostalgia in my life and these remind me of the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches I ate as a kid… just you know, kicked up a notch… or 10? Haha. The thing is if you look at the recipe and you are like “oh heck no, I don’t have time for that!” then you can make any part of the recipe you want. Just the ice cream or just the cookie dough! The recipe couldn’t be any easier either! Yes, it seems like a lot of steps, but they are all so easy to follow along I promise they won’t fail you!
For detailed instructions on the Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, you can visit that post as well! In a bowl with a mixer or a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. until they are noticeably lighter in color and very fluffy. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Add in milk and vanilla and mix for a couple of seconds. Add in flour and salt. *Change to the original recipe here* Take a third of the cookie dough out of the bowl and into a large microwave safe bowl. Mix ⅓ cup chocolate chips into remaining dough. Freeze the cookie dough in a sheet. Take out and cut into small squares for adding into the ice cream.
Melt the cookie dough without the chocolate chips in the microwave on half power for a minute until it gets melty. For detailed instructions on the Vanilla Ice Cream, visit the Classic Drumstick Ice Cream Cones post. Add in 4 cups of half and half, can of sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Mix well together until mostly combined. Some of the cookie dough may not completely break down, that is totally okay.
Freeze in your ice cream machine according to instructions. Seconds before you are ready to take ice cream out, add the chunks of the eggless cookie dough and ½ cup of chocolate chips into the machine.
Top completed ice cream with additional chunks of cookie dough and chocolate. Freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight (recommended). Sandwich between two cookies with ⅓ cup scoop of ice cream with the most delicious Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies (or your own recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies).
until you end up with these beauties!

Can you recommend an ice cream maker? Your amazon store has been down for a few days and I’m jonesing for homemade ice cream even though it is freezing!! Thanks.
I actually like using a gelato maker because it’s self freezing. Here’s a link to the one I use http://amzn.to/2ErJWEu
I know it is a million calories, but I want it so bad! That is the best looking ice cream sandwich I have ever seen. So making this!
No way! It is only 30000 😉
That first picture is totally mouth watering! My goodness. I just had a boring bowl of ice cream. I’d so trade it for this! lol

My husband would love me if I made this for him, he’s a sucker for ice cream sandwich.
Mine too. He was waiting in the wings as I was taking photos of them!

Cookie heaven! I love the cookies sandwiched in between more cookies. I’m fairly certain I can hear my ice cream maker calling to me now.
I’m all about maximum cookies per bite 🙂
These look better then any dessert I’ve ever had. My nieces and are going to try and make these.
How exciting, a family activity! I hope you all love them!
These remind me of the cookie ice creams my step mom used to get for me! Good memories. I’ll have to make these with my girls before summer is over!
Aw, that’s wonderful! I love when food can bring back great memories! I hope you all enjoy them!
I think I just gained 20 pounds looking at that. Cookie dough ice cream on cookies. I can’t even brain now.

My oldest picked out the chocolate chips and handed me a melty sandwich. Psh, toddlers don’t understand the awesomeness!
Oh My Goodness – I want this for breakfast
Haha, I would love this for breakfast too!
I AM DOING THIS!! I keep telling myself I will make a cookie dough ice cream, and now you have motivated me! Especially with back to school upon us I feel I owe my daughter this snack before she begins her school journey for the next 14-18 years!
Yay! I hope you love it Kacey! We had fun scooping the ice cream onto the cookies together. My toddler was a chocolate chip thief though!
