Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the perfect thickness to hold a huge scoop of ice cream. Once baked, these ice cream sandwiches can be stacked in a large airtight container and they will keep well that way. Refrigerating your cookies also makes them taste better.

By letting the dough chill, the flour breaks down into a simple carb and sugar, making the flavour more concentrated and pronounced. Add your butter in a bowl together with brown sugar then using a fork or a hand mixer, combine everything until it is well combined.

Add in your eggs and combine to the mixture too then you are also going to add butterscotch flavoured jello to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined. This is going to make the cookies soft and chewy and give the caramel flavour. Add self-raising flour to the mixture and again mix everything until well combined then add half a cup of chocolate chips to the batter and continue mixing.

Once done, use an ice cream scooper to scoop the batter into a baking tray and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 to 15 minutes.
To make the ice cream, grab two cups of half and a half and add sweet condensed milk and two teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Grab a spoon and mix everything together then refrigerate it overnight or if you have an ice cream maker, you can use it for the ice cream making. To assemble the ice cream cookies, grab your cookies and add the ice cream on the cookies and you have to work quickly because the ice cream will melt especially if it is homemade ice cream.

Grab the other cookie and sandwich the cookies with the ice cream then freeze the cookies for about 15 minutes before eating.
