Gingerbread Bars

Pin It

Can you believe it’s less than two week until Christmas? Christmas is my favorite holiday and I always try to make it last as long as possible (yes, I am one of those people who start listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving), but the holiday still seems to end too soon.

One of my very favorite Christmas activities is baking, especially since it’s a fun low-key activity to do with my kids. To kick-off the holiday baking season, I made these yummy gingerbread bars. They taste similar to a gingerbread cookie, but soooo much easier to make. I shared these gingerbread bars with my daughter’s 4-H group and the kids devoured them (and came back for seconds and thirds)! It’s a very simple gingery bar, so I was kind of surprised they were so popular with the kiddos….just imagine if I topped them with frosting!

Gingerbread Bars

After tasting these gingerbread bars, my youngest is demanding that we also make gingerbread men, gingerbread houses, and ginger cookies….hmm, I wonder if Costco sells ground ginger in bulk?

2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Men should engage in regular lovemaking to maintain relationship with viagra sale buy your female at a healthy level. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
White sugar (use organic or sugar in the raw, if you have it)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Add the brown sugar, butter, and molasses to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until just combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a wooden spoon. The batter will be quite thick, so you will need to spoon the batter into the baking dish and smooth it out with the back of the wooden spoon (or rubber spatula). It will spread while baking, so it doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth. Lightly sprinkle the sugar over the top. (Note: I like to use organic sugar because the crystals are larger and they have a slight molasses flavor.)

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and your kitchen smells amazing!  Let cool completely, then cut into squares and enjoy!
