Chocolate-Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
You can never have too many dessert recipes, so give Chocolate-Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 45 minutes.
Instructions
Make cookies: Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
Combine butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl; cream together with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop up heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into 1 1/2- to 2-inch balls.
Place balls on baking sheets 3 inches apart (you'll have about 8 balls per sheet).
Bake until dry on top, 13 to 15 minutes.
Let cool on baking sheets on wire racks.
Make sandwiches: Soften ice cream at room temperature for 3 minutes. Set containers on their sides on a cutting board and use a sharp serrated knife to cut each pint of ice cream into 7 circles, cutting through cardboard. Peel cardboard away and place each disk of ice cream between 2 cookies.
Place sandwiches on a baking sheet, cover with plastic and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Ice Cream. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
