Method
 

Making the Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and honey until creamy. Add eggs, then mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie stamps or round cutters to shape the cookies.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Assembling the Sandwiches
  1. While the cookies cool, soften the salted honey ice cream to a scoopable consistency.
  2. Place a generous scoop of ice cream between two ginger cookies, gently pressing them together to form a sandwich.
  3. Freeze the assembled sandwiches briefly to set.
  4. Enjoy your delicious creations immediately or store them in the freezer for later.
