These cookie ice cream sandwiches are made with a waffle chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream to create the best summer dessert.

Ice cream sandwiches are hands down the best summer treat! But we are taking this up a notch by creating a waffle chocolate chip cookie for the base of our ice cream sandwich! The waffle cookie creates the absolute best sandwich.

Ingredients for Waffle Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich

Vanilla Ice Cream – store bought or homemade
Butter – unsalted and softened
Sugar – both brown and granulated sugar
Egg – makes the perfect texture of your cookie
Vanilla Extract – perfect warming flavor
Flour – all purpose flour
Baking Soda – helps for the cookie to rise
Salt – adds flavor
Chocolate Chips – I personally love using milk chocolate, but your preferred type works.

How to Make Waffle Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

In a large bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix together until light and fluffy.
Add in egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Preheat a mini waffle maker and add approximately 2-3 tablespoons of cookie dough to the waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Remove cookie from the maker and repeat with remaining dough. Allow cookies to cool completely.
To 6 of the waffle cookies add approximately 1/2 cup of ice cream. Top with remaining 6 waffle cookies.
Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the freezer.
