Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter melted
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup ice cream use your favorite flavor, see note
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (310g) chocolate chips or a combination of white and chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Pour into an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. While still hot, add both sugars and mix on low until combined. Add ice cream and mix until smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mix for just a few seconds, then add baking soda and salt. Mix until smooth, then mix in flour slowly. Mix dough just until it comes together, then stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. You’re going to chill the dough balls so there is no need to space them out. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cookies 2” apart on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper or silpat baking mats. (If you've chilled them longer than 4 hours you might want to press them down slightly with the palm of your hand otherwise they won't flatten totally.) Bake for about 9-11 minutes, until they start to get golden around the edges. Cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheets before moving to a rack to cool completely.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
Notes
- Use your favorite flavor ice cream. Ice cream should be solid but soft (not totally liquid).
- Mix and match your chocolate chips or mix-ins to your ice cream flavor.
- Add different extracts too to enhance the flavor of the ice cream.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
