Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Reduce vinegar in a saucepan over medium-high heat to ¼ cup, 15 minutes; let cool.

Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.

Cream shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy.

Beat in reduced vinegar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.

Drop dough by #40 scoop (about 1½ Tbsp.) onto prepared baking sheets and gently flatten tops. Bake cookies until edges are just set, 910 minutes; cool completely on baking sheets, then freeze.

Assemble ice cream sandwiches by scooping ice cream with a #20 cookie scoop (about 3 Tbsp.) onto flat side of one cookie. Place flat side of a second cookie on top of ice cream and press until ice cream meets edge of cookie; wrap in plastic wrap and freeze, at least 4 hours.

Let ice cream sandwiches sit at room temperature 5 minutes before serving.
