2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Divide batter between pans.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
For frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla. Beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.
Optional: Add peanut butter for flavor, blending well.
Assemble: Place one cookie layer on a plate, top with softened ice cream, and place the second layer on top. Freeze for 1 hour.
Apply a crumb coat of frosting, freeze for 15 minutes, then add remaining frosting. Decorate with chocolate chips and dollops of frosting.
