Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream

  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies or Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 tsp flaky salt

Cookies

  • 2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
    Using an electric mixer, whip the cream and malted milk powder in a large bowl until soft peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt and whip until combined and fluffy. Fold in the crushed cookie crumbs. Spread the ice cream out in an even layer in the prepared pan, freeze 2-3 hours, until firm.
    Meanwhile, make the cookies. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until evenly combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined and the dough forms a ball. If your dough feels too wet to roll out, add the additional 2 tablespoons flour.
    Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Roll out the dough out on a flour piece of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut 24 (4x2 inch) rectangles. Carefully transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll out the leftover scraps, and repeat with the remaining disk of dough. You can also use a round cookie cutter for the cookies and the ice cream if you prefer.
    Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
    Lift the ice cream slab out of the pan using the parchment paper. Working quickly, cut into 12 rectangles. Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, pressing the cookies into the ice cream gently to adhere.
    Freeze the sandwiches 2 hours, until firm, or up to three months. Let the ice cream sandwiches sit at room temperature 5 minutes, then enjoy!
