Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream
Not to be confused with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream , this ice cream is made of chunks of homemade (or bakery-style) chocolate chip cookies tucked into creamy rich vanilla ice cream. I love this ice cream when made with these cookies or these cookies .
The salt is optional, but I love that little something extra that it adds. Feel free to skip it if salted chocolate isn’t your thing.
The key to the overall texture of the finished ice cream is simply that the cookies be chewy and not too crispy. We aren’t looking for a crunchy bite in the ice cream, we want chewiness to remain when they’re frozen! They should retain their signature texture and flavors when they have been layered into the ice cream.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
Take this to the next level by layering scoops of this ice cream between a couple of soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies. And for a fun twist on this combination, scoop the ice cream between a couple of Monster Cookies and tuck them into the freezer .

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
