Instructions
Small Batch Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicon liner. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or wooden spoon, cream together the butter and sugars in a medium sized bowl for 2 minutes until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk, coffee, and vanilla, stirring until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Chill dough for 10 minutes. Portion dough into 6 equally sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Press them down slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake for 8-9 minutes until puffy and just baked, transferring them to a cooling rack right away.
Small Batch Black Forest Ice Cream
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine milk, cream, sugar, and extracts. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until sugar is fully dissolved. Chill mixture to 40 degrees before using.
Following directions on Zoku maker, pour and scrape mixture until soft serve begins to form, then add ⅓ of the cherries and chocolate chips. Transfer to a metal mixing bowl and place in freezer until ready to use. If you have no Zoku maker, order one on Amazon right away, then prepare this like normal no-churn ice cream. And wait 4 hours.
When ready to assemble sandwiches, scoop desired amount of ice cream on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie. Enjoy immediately, or double wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. If eating from freezer, allow to thaw 5-10 minutes beforehand so the cookies soften slightly. Prepared sandwiches will keep in freezer for 1 week.
