Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare a sheet pan with parchment or Silpats.
2. Melt the butter in a small pan.
3. Add the coffee or espresso to the melted butter.
4. Add the coffee/butter mixture to the sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer and whisk together on high for about 2-3 minutes. You will essentially have a smooth caramel type sauce.
5. Add the eggs one at a time and continue whisking on high.
6. Meanwhile, combine all of the dry ingredients, including the chocolate chips.
7. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until you have a smooth cookie dough.
8. Scoop the cookie dough and bake at 350ºF for about 8-10 minutes.
9. Let the cookies cool.
10. Match up the cookies that are the exact same size as each other in pairs.
11. Slather a cookie with softened coffee ice cream and top them with the top half of the cookie pair.
12. Freeze the sandwiches at least 1 hour, and then smooth the ice cream around the edges, scraping off any extra. Serve immediately or freeze until you are ready to serve.
