1/2 cup bread flour

Cooked bacon, crumbled, for serving
Instructions
Cream together the sugar and butter in a bowl. Add the molasses and egg and mix until thoroughly combined.In a medium bowl, add the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, salt and spices and whisk together. Pour into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Scoop the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form a log. Refrigerate and chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and form into golf ball-size balls. Roll in the sugar to coat and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 4 minutes, then rotate the cookie sheet and then bake for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the baked cookies from the oven and cool.
Use a 4-inch ring cutter to cut out rings of the Bacon Caramel Semifreddo and place on a cookie. Then add the crumbled bacon and sandwich with another cookie to make ice cream sandwiches.
Cook's Note: You can always substitute regular caramel ice cream instead of the semifreddo.
