Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Assemble the cookie sandwiches shortly before serving so the cookies retain their texture and the vanilla ice cream stays firm. They are ideal as a simple frozen dessert during warmer weather.Recipe Notes
Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the ice cream. Even slightly warm cookies will soften the ice cream quickly. Dark chocolate chips provide a rich contrast to the sweet vanilla filling.Cooking Advice
Leave plenty of space between the portions of cookie dough because they spread during cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, cook them in batches rather than overcrowding the basket.Storage Advice
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For advance preparation, assemble the sandwiches and freeze them individually until required.Wine Advice
The combination of dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream works well with a sweet dessert wine. Choose a suitable bottle from René's Wijnbeleving.Nutrition values
