I've never really been interested in plain chocolate cookies. I like chocolate chip, oatmeal, ones with nuts and cranberries, chocolate dipped butter cookies, the list goes on. So why would I make them? Because soft chocolate cookies are exactly what you need for a killer ice cream sandwich. You need them to be soft and easy to bite through so that the ice cream doesn't squeeze out. Plain chocolate works well with lots of other flavors, probably any ice cream flavor.

I have to admit that when these were still warm, right out of the oven, they were delicious, very brownie like.
