Ingredients

For the cookie dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the ice cream:

  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread the flour out into an even layer on the cookie sheet. Heat the flour for about 5 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before preparing dough. Set the cookie sheet aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in the vanilla extract and the salt. Then mix in the flour until well-combined. Pour in the milk and mix thoroughly. Mix in 2/3 cup of the mini chocolate chips until well-combined.

3. Turn out the dough onto the cookie sheet. Use a spatula to press down and spread the dough into an even layer, about 1/3-inch thick. Stick the cookie sheet into the freezer and freeze for about 15 minutes.

4. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Use a hand mixer and whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 10-13 minutes. Then mix in the condensed milk and vanilla extract.

5. Remove the cookie dough from the freezer. Use knife or your hands, crumble the dough up into small bite size pieces.

6. Pour the cookie dough pieces into the whipped cream mixture along with the remaining chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture into a container and cover with a lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours. Serve!
