Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich by Rockin Robin

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while maintaining moisture.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate chips offer a richer flavor, while chocolate chunks are often less expensive.

ice cream

🥗Healthier: frozen yogurt

💰Cheaper: store-brand ice cream

Frozen yogurt can reduce calories while still providing a creamy texture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while self-rising flour can be used without additional leavening.

Place all dry ingredients into a large bowl: regular white flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Cream softened butter in a mixing bowl using a paddle attachment until light and fluffy.

Add brown sugar and white sugar to the butter and mix until well combined.

Add vanilla extract and 1 egg, mixing until just incorporated without overmixing.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, starting with a third, mixing on low until blended, then add the rest of the flour and mix until combined.

Dump in the milk chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed in the dough.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Use a scooper to scoop out dough and create a small hole in the center for the Nutella.

Fill the hole with Nutella, then pinch the dough around it to fully enclose the Nutella, forming a ball.

Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking pan.

Bake the cookies in the oven until done, then let them cool completely on the stove before assembling the ice cream sandwiches.

Cut a portion of vanilla ice cream from the pint, ensuring it's a size that fits well between two cookies.

Remove the cardboard from the ice cream and place a scoop between two cookies to form the sandwich.
