Ginger Molasses Ice Cream Sandwiches

These Ginger Molasses Cookie Sandwiches are my all time favorite summer dessert idea! They are spicy and sweet with just the right amount of chewiness.

Ginger Molasses cookies don’t need to be limited to a Christmas cookie, in fact they are fantastic in the summertime where turned into some delicious tasting ice cream sandwiches!

For a step-by-step of this recipe you can watch my video below!

But if you can’t find it it’s also easy to buy online (this product link go to Amazon where I am compensated on products sold at no cost to the consumer). 

I think the thing that makes them extra delicious is the candied ginger mixed into the dough. You can typically find it in the spice aisle of your supermarket.

You can make and assemble the sandwiches the day before serving and then freeze them overnight.  This will make them easy to slice into (without making a squishy mess!) the following day.
