Ice Cream Sandwiches

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, molasses and egg with an electric mixer.

2. 2

   In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and ginger.

3. 3

   With a wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients to the previous mixture alternately with the milk. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into thirds. Keep two of the three parts in the refrigerator. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough thinly, like a pastry crust. Cut into 6 x 9-cm (2 1/2 x 3 ½-inch) rectangles, keeping the scraps to make cookies. Place on the baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 8 minutes.

6. 6

   Let cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
