Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt; set aside.
-
Step 2.
Using an electric mixer, beat 1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled) with 1½ cups packed dark brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and 4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in 3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips.
-
Step 3.
Divide the cookie dough into 4 equal portions. Press each portion into a 6-inch disk. Place 2 disks onto each prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
-
Step 4.
Heat oven to 325°F. Bake the chilled cookie disks, rotating the positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown around the edges but centers are still soft, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets on a cooling rack.
-
Step 5.
Top 3 of the cooled cookies each with one flavor of softened ice cream (vanilla chocolate-chip, mint chip, and chocolate chocolate-chip), spreading to the edges. Freeze for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Stack the frozen cookies on a cake plate or platter, alternating flavors, and top with the remaining plain cookie.
-
Step 6.
Freeze the assembled cake until ready to serve. Let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Top with chocolate sauce just before serving.
