Chocolate Chip Cookie and Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches image

Gussy up two store-bought items for an original homemade treat.

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough pieces
3/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
6 ounces (1 cup) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Shape dough pieces into balls. Arrange on baking sheet and flatten to 1/2-inch thickness; press nuts onto each. Bake until golden, 12 to 18 minutes, depending on brand of cookie. Cool completely on sheet.
  • Meanwhile, mix ice cream, fresh mint, and extract in small bowl; place in freezer until ready to use.
  • Line baking sheet with foil. Place 1/4 cup ice cream on flat side of 1 cookie. Top with flat side of second cookie. Place on prepared sheet and freeze. Repeat to form 7 more sandwiches. Freeze until ice cream begins to firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl on low setting in 15-second intervals, stirring often. Dip sandwiches halfway into chocolate. Return to sheet. Freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
