Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat on medium speed the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about four minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until combined, 20 to 30 seconds.

- Transfer to the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Take one cookie and place a scoop of ice cream (about 1/4 cup) on the flat side of the cookie. Top with flat side of second cookie to make a sandwich.
- Place mini chocolate chips in a bowl or on plate. Roll sides of the sandwich in the chips.
- Serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze.
The Homemade Chipwich: A Sweet Treat for Any Occasion
As a busy working mom, time is always of the essence. Finding quick and satisfying treats for myself and my family is a constant juggling act. But sometimes, a simple pleasure is all it takes to make the day a little brighter. That's where my homemade Chipwich comes in. It’s a nostalgic classic elevated to a level of homemade goodness that leaves store-bought versions in the dust. The creamy ice cream sandwiched between two perfectly baked chocolate chip cookies—it’s a symphony of textures and flavors that's hard to resist. It's the kind of treat that brings a smile to everyone's face, from my kids to my sometimes-grumpy husband. And let me tell you, the process is surprisingly easy, even on a weeknight!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There's nothing fussy or overly complicated about it. It's a recipe that allows for a bit of creativity too. I often experiment with different types of ice cream, from classic vanilla bean to more adventurous flavors like salted caramel or even mint chocolate chip. The possibilities are endless! And because I bake extra cookies, I can always have them on hand for a quick, sweet snack when a craving hits. Beyond the cookies, making these sandwiches is a fun activity for the whole family. My kids love helping to scoop the ice cream and roll the edges in mini chocolate chips. It’s a chance to bond, create memories, and of course, enjoy a delicious treat together. It's a little bit of happiness in a bite.
But the Chipwich is more than just a dessert; it's a reminder to take a moment for myself. In the midst of the chaos of daily life, the simple act of creating something delicious and sharing it with loved ones brings a sense of calm and satisfaction.

The smell of warm cookies baking in the oven, the satisfying sound of the mixer churning the dough, the cool feel of the ice cream—these are the sensory details that make this experience so rewarding. And the best part? The joy of sharing your creation with others.
Variations and Tweaks: While the classic chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream combination is undeniably delicious, there are endless possibilities for customizing your Chipwich. Experiment with different cookie recipes—think oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, or even double chocolate. Mix up the ice cream flavors too. Salted caramel, strawberry, cookies and cream—the choices are limitless! You can also add different toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Get creative and have fun with it!
