  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or plant-based milk of choice)
  • 1 pure vanilla bean paste (or substitute pure vanilla extract)

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean paste (or substitute pure vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ounces chocolate of choice, chopped (optional, but encouraged)

Instructions

  3. Add flour and salt and beat again until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.

Ice cream:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, half and half (or milk – see notes), granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Use a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk to completely combine.
  2. Pour ice cream batter into frozen ice cream maker (aff link) and prepare according to manufacturers directions (usually 20-25 minutes of churning).
  3. During the last 5 minutes, add in your cookie dough by the teaspoon and chopped chocolate (optional).
  4. Pour into a loaf pan or other quart-sized container, cover, and place into the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

*If you’re concerned about the potential for bacteria in raw flour, you can quickly heat treat it by spreading it out onto a baking sheet and toasting it at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let it cool, then add to your cookie dough mixture.

**Don’t have half and half? Just use 2 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk instead.
