Thank you to Ellen at Family Around the Table and Christie at A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures for hosting #ChristmasCookiesWeek! We're sharing some of our favorite holiday cookies and bars all week, AND giving away some great prizes (detailed below).

I'm starting off with a gingerbread bar cookie. It's similar in texture to a fudgy brownie, but since it doesn't contain any cocoa, it's called a blondie. It's flavored with the traditional gingerbread ingredients: brown sugar, molasses, and lots of ground ginger and other spices. If you like a slightly underdone center (as pictured), aim for the lower end of the baking guidelines.

Finally, for some flavor and texture contrast, I blended in some creamy white chocolate morsels. I added one cup, which I feel is more than enough, but if you prefer more, you can add up to 2 cups (a full 12-ounce bag).

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoon Adams vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white chocolate morsels

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13" rectangular baking pan with tin foil, leaving two inches of overhang on each short side, then spray liberally with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar; let cool 5 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition, followed by the vanilla, molasses, baking soda, spices, and flour until a soft batter comes together. Mix in the white chocolate chips. 
3. Spread the batter evenly in the baking pan and bake for approximately 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
4. Lift the blondies out of the pan by the overhang. Cut into 24 bars.
