Make the Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies: Preheat oven to 350º F. In small bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, food coloring and vanilla; beat until well combined. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by 2-tablespoon-fulls onto parchment-lined baking sheets and gently press to flatten slightly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked through. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Assemble the sandwiches: Turn cookies over so that flat sides face up. Place 1/4 cup scoop of ice cream onto half of cookies (you will have some leftover ice cream). Press remaining cookies onto ice cream to form sandwiches. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in freezer up to 2 weeks.
