Baking Tips
For an extra chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
Use store-bought honey ice cream if short on time.
Try rolling the edges in crushed gingersnaps or white chocolate for a decorative finish.
Let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture.

In a separate bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses, honey, egg, and vanilla, mixing until combined.

Strain and mix in vanilla and sea salt. Chill completely before churning in an ice cream maker.

To assemble, place a scoop of ice cream between two gingerbread cookies. Press gently, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.
