1-Gathering and Mixing the Base: First, whisk together the sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until the sugar fully dissolves. This creates a smooth base that’s ready for chilling. Once mixed, refrigerate the base overnight to help achieve the best texture and consistency for your ice cream.

2-Churning and Adding Cookies: After chilling, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn it. When the ice cream starts to thicken, stir in the chopped sandwich cookies for that signature crunch. Continue churning for an additional 5 minutes to evenly distribute the cookies.

3-Freezing and Serving: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours to firm up.
