Chocolate-Chunk Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

I've been seeing a ton of creative ice cream bars all over my insta feed--so I decided to join in on the fun. I absolutely love to eat cookie dough but I don't love that weird feeling in my stomach after accidentally eating 2-3 raw eggs. I came up with a way to make edible cookie dough without eggs! I also didn't have any regular flour, so I substituted a cup of white whole-wheat flour instead, I couldn't even tell the difference which is awesome because whole-wheat flour is definitely a healthier take. 

My advice for this would be to be patient and make sure your ice cream is fully frozen again before you add on the top layer of the 'sandwich'. I'll admit it, I wasn't patient, and that's why some of my ice cream layers look kinda wimpy. When slicing into squares in the last step, it's better to go with a large knife, and really use those arm muscles and leverage to cut all the way through the thick layers of cookie dough and chocolate chunks.

Serving Size: 6-8 ice cream bars

Cooking Time: 45 min-1 hour

Ingredients:

• 1 stick of unsalted butter (softened)
  
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
• 1 1/2 cup ice cream
• wax paper
• PAM non-stick spray

Directions:

1. Mix softened butter and brown sugar with a fork in a bowl until it becomes creamy.
2. Add salt and vanilla. Stir. 
3. Add the flour and milk. Stir until the mixture forms into a dough. Add the chocolate chunks and blend them in, then separate the cookie dough into two equal parts. 
4. Grease two pieces of wax paper and lay each part of the cookie dough on top. Flatten each one until they two sections of dough are about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Put on a flat surface in the freezer for 20 minutes. 
5. Thaw ice cream for about 10 minutes, the texture should be creamy, but not too melty. Spread a few scoops evenly over one layer of cookie dough, and before putting the other piece on top to complete the ice cream sandwich, you're going to want to let the ice cream re-freeze for about 20 minutes .
6. After the ice cream is back to frozen, place the other cookie dough sheet on top of the ice cream layer and slice into squares and serve!
