Ingredients

#### For the cookies:

  • 1 ¼ cups melted salted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup M&Ms
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate chips

#### For assembly:

  • ½ gallon vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup mini M&Ms
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

#### For the cookies:

  • In a stand mixer, combine melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Mix on low until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, followed by the dry ingredients, while the mixer is on low.
  • Use a rubber spatula to fold in M&Ms and chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with clear wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • After chilling, use a large cookie scoop (about 2 1/2-3 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place onto the cookie pan, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set.
  • As soon as the cookies come out, use a round cookie cutter or glass to gently reshape them into a circular shape.
  • Let cool for 4 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Place cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.

#### For assembly:

  • Place a chilled cookie upside down and scoop vanilla ice cream on top. Gently spread to the edges and place another cookie on top.
  • Avoid pressing too hard to prevent cracking, but ensure the sandwich is compact.
  • Roll the sides into mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, or sprinkles.
  • Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Repeat until all cookie sandwiches are made.
  • Allow to freeze for at least 3 hours before serving or up to 3 months. Enjoy your delicious M&M Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches!
