Christmas baking is my favourite kind of baking. I love the flavours of gingerbread, the texture of shortbread snowballs covered in powdered sugar, the smell of Christmas pudding boiling away on the stove or the sweetness of melted chocolate.
You know how on an iPhone it tells you your screentime each week? I can almost guarantee that in December every year, my "kitchen time" would increase by 600% because I am constantly coming up with new ideas and baking new Christmas treats to share.
These Gingerbread Cookie Bars were this year's creation.
With crisp chewy edges and a delicious buttercream frosting, they're like a sugar cookie crossed with gingerbread and blondies.
So much easier than baking (and rolling and cutting) a batch of gingerbread, all you have to do is melt, mix, bake and frost.
The first time I made these bars, I went a little too heavy on the molasses, which whilst delicious can be a little bit dividing (but if you're a molasses fan, go ahead and try my original recipe by using a full 1/2 cup of molasses instead of half molasses half honey/golden syrup).
So with a few tweaks and the addition of frosting, I came up with the perfect Christmas treat that everyone will love.
Just be warned, they will disappear before your eyes!
So let me share the recipe with you! >>
