Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Stuffed With Caramel Nut Ice Cream (Seasonal Sprinkles!)

Move beyond the basic chocolate chip cookie and get ready for a truly jaw-dropping dessert. If you’ve ever wanted to master making cookies stuffed with ice cream, this is the recipe for you. We start with perfectly chewy double chocolate cookies, baked with an intense cocoa flavor, and then generously stuff them. While we originally developed this treat for Halloween, the real genius of this recipe is its flexibility: simply change the sprinkle colors to make it perfect for Christmas, Easter, summer parties, or any season you choose! We also include the method for leveling up your stuffing, showing you how to mix in chopped nuts and rich caramel sauce directly into the ice cream for an unforgettable layer of texture and flavor.

Delicious chocolate cookies recipe with ice cream, for the win! And so easy to make.

Ice Cream Stuffed Cookies

What’s great about this baking recipe is that anyone can make it! 

Sammie and I love spending time in the kitchen together. Although we don’t always have time to bake together due to our busy schedules. But I enjoy making an occasional sweet treat. Sometimes for school parties, her tennis team, or family gatherings. Do you enjoy bringing the treats? 

But, on this day, I just wanted to give her a surprise. She had worked all weekend long being a ball girl for the professional women’s tennis players’ tournament, in the heat. This year, the competition happened to be in Paso Robles. 

I decided to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies and stuff them with ice cream. Originally, I decorated them for Halloween, which was easy, just by adding seasonal sprinkles.

Side note: I didn’t tell her, but I was testing out two ways for stuffing cookies for this year’s Halloween treat idea. I made them two ways. The first way was to stuff the cookies with vanilla ice cream. The second way was to hand-mix vanilla ice cream with nuts and caramel for the ice cream stuffing. Below you can see how to bake them and make this yummy, gooey treat. Add them to a bowl or freeze them longer for eating like an Its It. These make the best holiday ice cream cookies.

I have been eyeing a few new baking recipes to try that I spotted that were from the Immaculate Baking site and Pinterest.

Finally, I decided to heat my oven and kick off baking season.

Why do I say finally? Because it’s still been hot out here, and just cooling down enough to heat the oven for this recipe. It only takes 11-13 minutes of baking time.

Ingredients for Cookies Stuffed With Ice Cream

• Grab the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (or) pre-mixed refrigerated Chocolate Chunk Cookies
• Vegetable oil, if using, mix
• 2 eggs, if using mix
• Vanilla ice cream
• Seasonal sprinkles (optional). I used these Halloween sprinkles
• Chopped pecans (optional) 
• Caramel syrup (optional)

Here’s how to make the Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Stuffed Cookies

I have to admit I cheated a bit by using Immaculate baking cookie dough and mix. Shh, no one is the wiser.

I ran down to the store to grab the baking supplies I needed. You can find them at Target, local grocery stores, and online. I picked up both the double chocolate chip cookies in the baking section and the chocolate chip cookies in the refrigerated section. Use either cookies for this recipe. I’ll update you on how I used the chocolate chunk cookies soon, if they don’t get eaten up first, lol.

Instructions

1. Make the box mix, and bake. Or bake the premade cookies per directions on the box.
2. Make sure not to over-bake them.
3. Let cool about 15 minutes.
4. Soften ice cream slightly. 
5. Place 1 cookie on the plate
6. Scoop ice cream onto a cookie (Use pre-made vanilla, caramel, or nut crunch ice cream to stuff them with, see how below. Or buy your favorite ice cream.)
7. Add the sprinkles.
8. Top by adding your second cookie.
9. Place in freezer until ready to serve or serve right away with a spoon! 

Carmel Nut Ice Cream

It’s easy to make the vanilla, caramel, and nut crunch ice cream to stuff the cookies with!

1. Take vanilla ice cream, soften slightly.
2. Chop up pecans.
3. Add pecans to the ice cream scooped into the bowl, and drizzle caramel syrup.
4. Stir well. Freeze for a little bit, then add to your baked cookies.

This is such an easy frozen dessert!

Honestly, I think these double chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookies are the best for making ice cream stuffed cookies! Not only are they good, gooey, and delicious (almost brownie-like), but they are also organic and taste amazing. What else is amazing is adding the ice cream to make a double chocolate ice cream sandwich!

Bonus: the cookies are quick and easy to make.
