These bars have the old-fashioned taste of gingersnaps, but they're chewy and quick to fix, writes Sharon Nichols from her kitchen in Brookings, South Dakota.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine butter, 1 cup sugar and molasses. Beat in egg until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt; stir into the molasses mixture.
2. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
