Here we are in December, and we feel like our heads are still stuck in mid-summer. Maybe it was the breakneck speed of our house and kitchen renovation throughout the summer and early fall, or the relentless pace of our jobs. Whatever the case, we’ve been in desperate need of margin, which we finally got the sweet taste of these past few days. This margin has given us some time to come up with some ideas for you for the holiday season (which incidentally we’re having a hard time believing is really here!). Keep reading for the ginger cookie ice cream sandwich recipe!

For Christmas and the holiday season, Alex and I love to come up with a few different ideas. Typically we focus on healthy, whole food, simple recipes. But for this cookie ice cream sandwich recipe, we thought we’d get the holiday season started out right with a traditional, festive baked good! It’s made with good old butter, sugar, and flour. For this cookie ice cream sandwich recipe, we’ve combined our favorite ginger molasses cookies with peppermint ice cream recipe to create a tasty sandwich (that happens to be dairy-free or vegan). You’ll have to carve out some time for this one – it’s best when the ice cream is made the day before, and the cookies are fully cooled before assembling the ice cream sandwiches (we learned that the hard way!). But all the work is absolutely work it for the flavor! These ginger cookie ice cream sandwich Next up are a few easy, natural (and gluten-free) treats that are still festive and fit for the holiday table, as well as an elegant entree for the holiday table. We can’t wait to share them with you. Cheers to the holidays – may they be full of margin and joy for you! What are your favorite holiday recipes? We’d love to hear your favorites.
