INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Add sugar and butter to a medium sized mixing bowl, and cream together until smooth. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla and mix until well incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add to bowl with wet ingredients and mix well.
4. Add approximately 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to bowl, leaving the rest to add later. Combine.
5. Using a large icecream scoop, drop evenly measured cookie dough onto baking sheet. A large scoop should yield 12-13 large cookies.
6. Manually place remaining chocolate chips on tops of cookie dough mounds. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
7. Allow to cool thoroughly, then scoop at least one large scoop of ice cream between two cookies. Place ice cream sandwiches on cookie sheet and freeze in the oven at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve. Allow sandwiches to sit at room temperature 3-5 minutes before serving.
