In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream softened butter and both sugars together until smooth. Scrape bowl as needed and prior to each new addition. Add egg and vanilla. Give a quick mix. Begin slowly adding in dry ingredients, reserving chocolate chips. When all ingredients are combined and smooth, mix in chocolate chips by hand.
Take a medium cookie scoop, scoop up to 10 balls of dough onto your baking sheet spaced evenly. Gently push down on each ball of dough with the palm of your hand to create a small disc.
Bake for 8 minutes or just until the edges are turning golden. Remove baking sheet from oven, letting cookies rest for 1-2 minutes before transfering to a cooling rack. Continue process with remaining dough. Dough can also be chilled in an airtight container for several days or frozen for up to several months. Remember to label your container well with any important info - baking temp, time, type etc.
Meanwhile, fit a sheet of plastic wrap into a a small ramekin, leaving enough overhang to cover ice cream. Scoop 1-3 good scoops of ice cream into the ramekin, how much depends on how thick you want your sandwiches to be. I suggest starting with 1 scoop, continuing with the method and adding more ice cream as needed until you are satisfied with the ice cream thickness. Take a flat bottom cup that is smaller than your ramekin. Push down on the ice cream creating a flat disc. Pull up on the plastic wrap to check thickness, add more ice cream and repeat process if necessary. When you are satisfied, pull excess plastic wrap up into a bundle sealing off the ice cream. Place ice cream disk in the freezer for several hours. Reuse the ramekin to create more discs as needed.
When ready to finish and eat your sandwiches, pour favorite sprinkles or other toppings into small bowls.
Grab one cookie, place ontop of ice cream disc. Trim ice cream if necessary. Mine were slightly larger than my cookies so I trimmed the ice cream down a bit. You don't have to though. Top off with another cookie. Then using your hand, scoop up a bunch of your desired decoration and push it into the ice cream, working your way around the sandwich. Repeat with remaining sandwiches or make it a party and have everyone do their own!
