How to Make Mom's Pumpkin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pans before frosting.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk for desired consistency.
- Frost the cooled bars and cut into squares. Enjoy!
