How to Make Molasses Bar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup molasses and ½ cup milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This prevents them from crumbling.
