  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 ½ cups heat-treated all-purpose flour (see Method)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ quarts vanilla ice cream, softened slightly

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Flour

Before making the cookie dough, heat-treat the flour to make it safe to eat:

  • Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 7 minutes.
  • Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  2. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk.
  3. Add in the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 3: Shape the Cookie Layers

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
  4. Remove from freezer and spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie dough layer.
  5. Carefully press the remaining cookie dough on top of the ice cream to form a sandwich.
  6. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully firm.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

  1. Once frozen solid, lift the entire slab out using the parchment paper.
  2. Slice into rectangles or squares using a sharp knife dipped in warm water.
  3. Serve immediately or wrap each sandwich in parchment and freeze for later.

Originally, cookie dough was a forbidden pleasure — only eaten raw when baking.

This recipe re-creates that trend, but with the heart and warmth of a homemade touch.
