Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (sifted)
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
unsalted butter
1/2 cup (softened)
dark brown sugar
1/3 cup (packed)
granulated sugar
1/3 cup
egg
1
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
rolled oats
1 1/2 cups
finely chopped chocolate
1/2 cup (bitter or semi-sweet)
vanilla ice cream
2 cups (softened)
crushed toffee pieces
1 cup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two ungreased baking sheets.
2
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.
6
Fold in the rolled oats and finely chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
7
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each ball.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
9
While the cookies are cooling, soften the vanilla ice cream until it can be easily stirred but not melted. An easy way to do this is by microwaving it in short 10-second intervals.
10
Once softened, add the crushed toffee pieces to the ice cream and mix until well combined.
11
To assemble, scoop a generous amount of ice cream onto the bottom side of one cooled cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
12
Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer until the ice cream is solid, about 1-2 hours.
13
Once solid, store the sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
