Ingredients: 2 cups flour 2 tsp ginger 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 10 tbsp butter, softened 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 7 1/2 tbsp sugar, divided 2 eggs 1/4 cup molasses Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 Set aside 2 tbsp of flour, then combine the remaining flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and 6 tbsp of sugar, until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and then the molasses. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until fully combined. Spread the batter in a foil-lined 15x10x1 inch baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and just enough of the remaining flour to very lightly coat the top of the batter. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack then cut into bars. |
