Transfer from pans to wire racks to cool completely., To assemble, place about 1/4 cup ice cream on bottom of a cookie; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toffee bits. Top with a second cookie, pressing gently to flatten ice cream. Place on a baking sheet; freeze overnight or until firm. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.

COOKIE LOVER'S ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Heat the milk in the microwave until steaming, 30 to 45 seconds. Put the cocoa powder in a large bowl; pour the hot milk on top and whisk to combine. Let the cocoa steep, about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, the vegetable oil, vanilla and espresso powder to the cocoa mixture; whisk to combine. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine.
• Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a separate large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium high and beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk one-third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 batches until fully combined and there are no white streaks remaining.
• Scrape the batter onto the baking sheet; spread evenly to the edges. Bake until the cake just springs back to the touch and no longer looks wet in the center, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the cake cool 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto the rack and carefully peel off the parchment. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the cake to a cutting board, cut in half crosswise and lightly wrap each half in plastic wrap. Freeze the cake halves until almost frozen and firm, about 2 hours.
• In the last 15 to 30 minutes of freezing the cakes, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften until spreadable but not melted. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang on the sides. Unwrap the cake halves; place 1 cake half in the bottom of the dish. Scoop the cookie dough ice cream all over the cake and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/8-inch border of cake. Top with the cookies-and-cream ice cream and spread into an even layer. Top with the remaining cake half and gently press down. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze the cake in the baking dish until the ice cream is firm (the cake will stay soft), at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.

CHOCOLATE "I SCREAM" COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cover the flat side of 4 cookies with melted dark chocolate; tap the cookies lightly to smooth out the chocolate.
• While still wet, use a piping bag or spoon to make a ghost shape with the white chocolate; tap lightly once more to smooth as needed. More white designs can be added to the dark chocolate background if desired.
• Use melted dark chocolate to make the eyes and screaming mouth; tap or shake once more to even and smooth out.
• Let chocolate cool until hard and dry to the touch, at least 1 hour.
• Scoop ice cream on 4 remaining cookies, and cover with the tops. Carefully press to flatten, and transfer to a freezer to freeze thoroughly before serving.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the Cookies
• Whisk cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and 2 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium and add eggs and vanilla; beat until very fluffy, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating just until combined (use a large spatula to incorporate any dry ingredients at the bottom of the bowl). Divide dough in half and wrap each in plastic, pressing down to form into 1/2"-thick disks. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Let 1 disk of dough sit at room temperature until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper into a large 1/8"-thick rectangle (about 16x12"), dusting with more flour as needed. Use a knife and a ruler (precision is key) to cut into 4x1 1/2" rectangles, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer rectangles to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1" apart. (If at any point the dough becomes too soft and sticky, slide dough with parchment onto a baking sheet and chill until firm.)
• Chill dough on baking sheet while you repeat the process with the second disk of dough. You should end up with 30 cookies total. Save scraps for another use or discard. Prick cookies in several places with a fork. Bake, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until edges are firm, 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets. Turn half of cookies over.
• Prepare Ice Cream
• Line a 13x9" baking pan, preferably straight sided, with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving several inches of overhang on all sides; place in freezer. Remove both pints of first ice cream flavor from containers (just peel away container if it's paper, or use a rubber spatula to help slide ice cream out intact if container is plastic). Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a large bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter. Scrape ice cream into chilled pan and smooth into an even layer with a small off-set spatula. Freeze uncovered until firm, 15-20 minutes.
• Repeat softening process with both pints of second flavor.
• Scrape second flavor over first layer and smooth out, spreading ice cream all the way to the edges and making top as level as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ice cream is hard, at least 8 hours.
• Assembly
• Remove ice cream from freezer, unwrap, and invert onto a cutting board; remove pan and peel off plastic. Trim sides of ice cream block to make a neat, straight-edged rectangle measuring 12x7 1/2" (yep, there's that ruler again). Working quickly so ice cream doesn't melt, cut block lengthwise into 5 equal rows and then crosswise into thirds so you have 15 pieces measuring about 4x1 1/2" Working with 1 brick of ice cream at a time, use a thin metal spatula to place on a flat-side-up cookie and top with a right-side up cookie. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet set in the freezer as you work. Freeze sandwiches until ice cream is hard, about 2 hours. Cover tray with plastic wrap and freeze at least another 8 hours to let cookies soften.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 1 week ahead; transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze. Layered ice cream can be made 1 week ahead; keep frozen in pan. Sandwiches can be assembled 5 days ahead; keep frozen.
