Add in flour mixture and beat until soft, sticky dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
Drop by tablespoons onto parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until just done.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
Assembling the Grown-up Cookie Sandwiches:
Allow ice cream to soften slightly. Place one cookie face down and top with one scoop of ice cream. Place second cookie on top and press lightly.
These are delicious as is or you can roll the sides of the cookie sandwich in sprinkles, more mini chocolate chips, or my favorite crushed pistachios.
You can make these ahead and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in freezer bag and freeze up to 1 month.
