Ginger Gingerbread Bars Recipe #254490
I couldn't find a recipe for a true ginger bar, so worked out one of my own. This is moist and flavorful with a nice ginger "hot zing". Omit or decrease the crystallized ginger if you prefer a mild ginger flavor! I made my own crystallized ginger with recipe #102933, it's easy and inexpensive.

15 bars
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon ginger powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon clove
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger (or quantity to taste)
- 3 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping)
- Cream butter, sugar, molasses, and egg in large bowl.
- Add all spices and beat until well mixed.
- Add flour and crystallized ginger; beat until flour is incorporated.
- Spread into greased 9X13 pan and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
- Bake 350 degrees 25-30 minutes until medium brown and risen in the middle. Cool and cut.
- Notes: You can put the crystallized ginger on top along with the coarse sugar; this is helpful if you want to make part of the pan milder for the kids! Looks great with colored coarse sugar.
