Perhaps the only thing better than a gingerbread cookie is a pair of gingerbread cookies stuffed with ice cream. In these next-level ice cream sandwiches, Guy combines fragrant spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves with sweet molasses to create sugar-rolled gingersnap cookies, then layers them with a disk of cool, creamy vanilla ice cream.
