Gianni's Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

What is it?

A round cookie sandwich rather than the rectangular wafer kind, which is a different proposition entirely. The wafer version uses a biscuit designed to yield. A cookie sandwich uses something closer to an actual baked biscuit, thicker and chewier, which is why it holds more ice cream and eats more like a dessert than a snack. The chocolate chips are the other difference: they stay firm in the cold, so there's a hard element in a format that's otherwise entirely soft. Chocolate chip is the obvious biscuit for it. It's sturdy enough to handle without crumbling and sweet enough to work against a plain vanilla centre.
