Ginger Molasses Cookie are my all time favorite cookie, spicy and sweet with just the right amount of chewiness.
But they don’t need to be limited to a Christmas cookie, in fact they are fantastic in the summertime where turned into some fantastic tasting ice cream sandwiches!
I think the thing that makes them extra delicious is the candied ginger mixed into the dough. You can typically find it in smaller pieces in your spice aisle of your supermarket, but I also find it’s easy to buy online. You can find it here in my pantry kit (these product links go to Amazon where I am an affiliate partner)
Freeze the sandwiches over night and then they’ll be easy to slice into (without making a squishy mess!) the following day.
