    Key Ingredients for Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

    1. Gluten-Free Flour: The backbone of your gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, this flour ensures your desserts are safe for those with gluten allergies or intolerances.
    2. Baking Soda: This ingredient allows your cookies to rise and gives them a soft and crumbly texture.
    3. Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar: Both types of sugar add sweetness to your cookies, with brown sugar also contributing to a moist, chewy texture.
    4. Egg: This acts as a binding agent in your cookies, giving them structure and stability.
    5. Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the flavors of the other ingredients, creating a depth of flavor that makes your cookies truly mouthwatering.
    6. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: These morsels of joy give your cookies their chocolatey goodness and provide a delightful crunch in every bite.
    7. Unsalted Butter: It gives your cookies their rich, buttery flavor and soft, tender texture.
    8. Salt: A pinch of salt intensifies the sweet flavor of your cookies, creating a more complex taste.
    9. Vanilla Ice Cream: This creamy delight forms the 'ice cream' in your ice cream sandwich. Its smooth texture and subtle flavor perfectly complement the chewy chocolate chip cookies.

    Step-By-Step Instructions for Gluten-Free Ice Cream Sandwiches

    1. Prepare your workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Mix the wet ingredients: Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer for a smooth mixture.
    3. Prepare the dry mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking soda.
    4. Combine mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet one. Blend well to ensure a consistent dough. Then, add in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Mix well until the chips are evenly distributed.
    5. Form the cookies: Roll the dough into teaspoon-sized balls and place them onto your prepared baking sheet.
    6. Chill: Let the cookie dough balls rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps to prevent them from spreading too much during baking.
    7. Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Every 5 minutes, take out the cookies and tap the baking sheet on the counter to flatten the cookies.
    8. Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool down until they reach a golden-brown color.
    9. Assemble the sandwiches: Once your cookies are cool, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the bottom of one cookie. Place another cookie on top to complete the sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
    10. Store: Place the completed ice cream sandwiches in an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Your delicious gluten-free chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches are ready to be enjoyed whenever you like!
