I’m gonna state the obvious here, but cookie are the best! Seriously, a good cookie, eaten at the right moment, solves most of life’s problems. Gingerbread cookies happen to be one of my very favorite kind.

But the problem with gingerbread is that it just reminds me too much of Christmas. I mean, you can’t just be “feeling that gingerbread feeling” all year long. (Those are lyrics to a song from Home Alone, btw. I hope you already knew that).

Last summer we came up with the perfect solution: Gingerbread Ice Cream Sandwiches. On June 25th, we were looking for a reason to celebrate that Christmas was only 6 months away. We were also going through a big ice cream sandwich phase. The two ideas merged into one delicious new tradition.

Tips for Making Gingerbread Ice Cream Sandwiches

• In reality, you can use any gingerbread cookie recipe you like, but what I like about this particular cookie for the ice cream sandwich is the little hint of orange in it. It gives it a small burst of citrus flavor that makes it that much more tasty.

• You can also use store bought vanilla ice cream if you are not in the mood to make homemade. It’ll still be great, but trust me when I say, that homemade ice cream will take these bad boys to the next level.

• When assembling these cookies, you really want to make sure your cookies are 100% cooled down. If not, you’ll have a very runny mess very quickly. After the cookies are assembled, they can be eaten right away, but if you want them to be a bit more stable, freeze for about 1 hour.

• If they’ve been in the freezer for a while, you may want to put them in the microwave for 15 seconds or so to soften them up.
