Ingredients
  

For the chocolate cookies
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the ice cream filling
  • 0.5 gallon cookies and cream ice cream softened

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the Oreo-style chocolate cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F, then beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Whisk the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then stir into the butter mixture to form a dough.
  4. Scoop the dough into large rounds (about 3 tablespoons each) and press flat on a lined sheet pan.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set, then cool completely.
Assemble and freeze the ice cream sandwiches
  1. Scoop a generous amount of cookies-and-cream ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie.
  2. Place a second cookie on top and press to spread the ice cream to the edges.
  3. Roll the edge of the sandwich in crushed Oreos so the sides are coated.
  4. Wrap each sandwich individually and freeze at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Pro tip: let the cookies cool fully before assembling so the ice cream doesn’t melt and slip. Store wrapped sandwiches in the freezer up to 2 weeks (no fridge storage); for best texture, refreeze immediately after serving. For a different dietary option, use a dairy-free cookies-and-cream ice cream substitute if you want it dairy-free while keeping the assembly method the same.
