Instructions
To prepare cookies, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour, baking soda, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
Place 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 3 minutes or until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add vanilla and egg; beat well.
Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed until well blended. Divide dough in half; gently press each portion into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap. Cover and chill 1 1/2 hours.
Unwrap each dough portion and place on 2 sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Cover each portion with 2 additional sheets of overlapping plastic wrap.
Roll, still covered, to a 1/4-inch thickness.
Place dough in freezer 30 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.
Remove plastic wrap; cut dough with a 3-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter to form 12 cookies.
Place cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Sprinkle cookies evenly with 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar.
Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until set.
Remove cookies from baking sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Repeat procedure with remaining dough and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar.
To prepare filling, combine ice cream and crystallized ginger, stirring well.
Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons ice cream on the flat side of each of 12 cookies; top with remaining cookies, flat sides down, pressing gently. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap; freeze 4 hours or until firm.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are great choices for Ice Cream. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
