📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brownie cookies:
2
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, slowly melt butter and 1-1/4 cups chocolate chips in the microwave** stirring until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and stir with a rubber spatula until combined (it will be thick). Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well between each addition. Once the last egg has been combined, whisk vigorously for ⏱️ 30 seconds.

4
Add the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to stir until combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 30 minutes to ⏱️ 1 hour for the dough to firm up.
5
Preheat oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper (don't skip this). Scoop the dough into 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoon portions and place at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. When you scoop the dough onto the baking sheets the dough should spread a tiny bit. If it doesn't spread at all, moisten the palm of your hand and flatten each dough mound slightly.
6
Bake the cookies for ⏱️ 10-14 minutes, until the edges are beginning to set, but they're still a bit underdone in the center. Rotate the baking sheets once during bake time. The cookies won't get their crackly tops until the very end of cook time or after removal from the oven. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Once they have cooled and firmed up, use a spatula to release the cookies from the parchment.

Assembly:
8
Option 1: Place a scoop of ice cream on the underside of a cookie. Use the back of a spoon to carefully spread the ice cream, then top with another cookie. TIP: Pop the cookies into the freezer for ⏱️ 30 minutes to get them firmed up before spreading the ice cream on.Option 2 (pictured): Using a sharp knife, cut directly through a pint of ice cream, making thin disc-like slices. Peel off the outer paper from each slice of ice cream and immediately place it between two cookies. Note: I recommend wiping down the outside of the pint before cutting into it. The bottoms of some ice cream containers have a little lip to them, so I cut that off first.

Add nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips to the outer edges of the sandwiches. After assembling the sandwiches, roll or press the “toppings” into the sides.
