Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup butter, room temp
- ¼ cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ¼ cup sugar, for rolling
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cups half and half
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Cookies
- In your mixer, combine butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in egg, molasses and orange peel. Beat until blended.
- Stir flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350° and grease 2 baking sheets (or line with silicone baking sheet). Place sugar in small bowl. Form cookie dough into 24 equal balls (about ***). Roll each ball in sugar and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cookies should be cracked on top, but still soft.
Ice Cream
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Pour into an Ice Cream Maker and freeze according to the maker's instructions.
Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Place 12 cookies onto your work surface. Make sure the flat side is facing up. Top each cookie with about ⅓ cup of ice cream. Spread the ice cream out evenly, but not to the very edge, leave about ¼ inch. Top the ice cream with a second cookie.
- Place cookie sandwiches in the freezer for about 2 hours. Keep frozen until serving*.
Notes
*If you are planning on storing these in your freezer for more than a day sandwiches will need to be wrapped in order to preserve. Allow them to freeze for 2 hours, then remove from freezer and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Return to the freezer until ready to eat.
