# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

01 - 1¾ cups heavy cream
02 - 1¼ cups whole milk
03 - ¾ cup sugar
04 - ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

→ Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chunks

07 - ¼ cup butter, room temperature
08 - ½ cup light brown sugar
09 - 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
10 - ½ cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
11 - ¼ teaspoon baking soda (optional, for flavor)
12 - ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Gently fold in the remaining ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips and the cookie dough chunks. Place the container in the freezer until ready to serve.
03 - In a bowl, beat together the butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the heat-treated all-purpose flour and optional baking soda, and mix until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. The dough should be thick and sticky.
04 - Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined tray. Place another sheet of parchment on top and press the dough flat to about a ½-inch thickness. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes. Once chilled, remove the top parchment sheet and cut the dough into ½-inch square pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
