Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) whole milk
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, chilled
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
Instructions:
- Heat the flour in a microwave-safe bowl on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Let it cool completely.
- Beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the heat-treated flour and salt until a soft dough forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into dime-sized balls and freeze on a tray for 20 minutes.
- Whisk together granulated sugar, salt, and whole milk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Gently stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then refrigerate the base for 30 minutes.
- Churn the base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).
- During the final 2 minutes of churning, add the chilled cookie dough balls.
- Transfer to an airtight container, press parchment paper onto the surface, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
