Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream or your favorite flavor
  • red and blue sprinkles for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Using a teaspoon, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Once the cookies are cool, scoop a small amount of ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  • Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in red and blue sprinkles for a festive touch.
  • Place the completed mini ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
