How to Make Ginger Gingerbread Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar, ½ cup molasses, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup chopped crystallized ginger. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle generously with ½ cup coarse sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. The bars should be golden brown and slightly risen.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
