11. 1 package of chocolate Almond Bark
12. Coarse sea-salt

Directions: 

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Celsius
2. Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt (I use a Kitchen Aid Mixer, but any mixer will do)
3. Add sugars into mixer
4. Beat in eggs, butter, and vanilla
5. Mix in chocolate chips
6. Using a nonstick cookie sheet, spoon 1 in. balls of cookie dough onto the sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes. (I use a Pampered Chef stone cookie sheet)
7. Let cookies cool on cooling rack
8. Empty sections of chocolate almond bark into a microwave safe bowl (I use a ceramic Corningware dish)
9. Microwave chocolate for 1 minute, then stir completely
10. Repeat and put chocolate back into microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring in-between, until completely melted
11. Choose cookies of similar size, and sandwich 1 scoop of ice cream in-between the cookies
12. Dip the ice-cream cookie sandwich into chocolate almond bark, spooning chocolate over about half of the cookie sandwich
13. Set chocolate covered cookie ice cream sandwich onto a section of tinfoil and quickly sprinkle with coarse sea-salt
