Alex and I like to come up with a few different ideas for Christmas and the holidays. In general, we focus on healthy, whole foods, simple recipes. But for this cookie and ice cream sandwich recipe, we figured the holiday season would start off right with a traditional, holiday pastry! It’s made from good old butter, sugar and flour.
For this Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich recipe, we combined our favorite Ginger Molasses Cookies with our Coconut Milk Peppermint Ice Cream recipe to create a delicious sandwich (which happens to be product-free). dairy products or vegan).
