Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Make Cookie Dough
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Chill Dough
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Form Cookies
Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into 16 equal-sized rounds using a 3-inch cookie cutter.
Bake Cookies
Place cookies on prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until set.
Cool Cookies
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare Ice Cream
Remove ice cream from freezer and let soften for about 10 minutes.
Assemble Sandwiches
Place a generous scoop (about 1/2 cup) of softened ice cream on the flat side of 8 cookies. Top with remaining cookies, flat side down, and gently press to spread ice cream to edges.
Freeze Sandwiches
Place assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
Chop Pistachios
Shell pistachios if necessary and roughly chop.
Prepare Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Dip Sandwiches
Working quickly with one sandwich at a time, dip half of each frozen sandwich into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Add Pistachios
Immediately sprinkle chopped pistachios onto the chocolate-covered portion before it sets.
Set Chocolate
Place dipped sandwiches back on the baking sheet and return to freezer for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Wrap for Storage
Once chocolate is set, wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Freeze Until Serving
Store wrapped sandwiches in the freezer until ready to serve.
Serve
Remove from freezer and let stand for 5 minutes before serving to slightly soften.
