Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Vanilla ice cream (any brand or style)
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Dough: Mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop small dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Keep them soft for best texture.
- Prepare the Ice Cream: Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls. Allow it to soften for 1 to 2 minutes if too firm.
- Assemble the Dessert: Place warm cookies over the ice cream. Add extra cookie pieces for texture or serve as-is.
- Serve and Enjoy: Eat immediately while the cookies are warm and the ice cream is cold.
Notes
Do not overbake the cookies to maintain their soft texture. For a seasonal twist, add cinnamon, nutmeg, or crushed peppermint to the cookie dough. Dairy-free adjustments are simple by choosing plant-based butter, chocolate chips, and ice cream.
