Double Chocolate Chip Pistachio Ice Cream Sandwiches

These are delicious! I made these ice cream sandwiches using the basic chocolate chip cookie recipe on the bag of chips, but added 2 heaping tblsp. cocoa powder sifted into the flour mixture. Add dark chocolate chips and pistachios to the dough, then bake as usual. I used mostly organic baking ingredients for these. 

Freeze the cookies after they cool. Then get some good pistachio Ice Cream, Ben and Jerry's is non GMO, and it's really good, so I use that one. You can use any flavor ice cream you like for these. Add a few tablespoons of the ice cream to the middle of a frozen cookie, press another cookie on top and roll the edges in chopped pistachios.

Basic recipe for the cookies: Cream 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar. Add 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla. Sift in 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, & 2 tblsp cocoa powder. Mix in 1/2 cup chips and 1/2 cup nuts. Chill it in the fridge while the oven heats up.

Heat oven to 375. Drop rounded cookie dough balls onto a buttered cookie sheet and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. 

Yum!

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm not going to post the whole recipe because it's on the bag of chips. To make the cookie dough chocolate too, reduce the amount of flour by 1/4 cup and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup chocolate powder mixed in with the dry ingredients. I use the classic Toll House recipe with 70% dark cocoa chocolate chips in these. Yum!
