Time 50m

Yield 16 bars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
1 large egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with a strip of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper. Dust pan and sides of pan with cocoa, set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, ginger, pumpkin-pie spice, and baking soda; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, molasses, egg, and sour cream until smooth. Add flour mixture; stir just until moistened (do not overmix). Stir in chocolate chips. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely. Using paper overhang, lift gingerbread from pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 squares. Before serving, dust bars with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
  • To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.

These bars are way too sweet. I had to cut back on the sugar next time I make them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture.

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but I loved these bars. The chocolate really balances out the ginger flavor.

These bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I can make them a few days ahead of time and they're still just as good.

I made these bars gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I used chopped dark chocolate instead. The bars still turned out great.

I had some trouble finding molasses, but I finally found it at a specialty grocery store. The bars were worth the effort.

These gingerbread bars were a hit at our holiday party! They're so moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of ginger and chocolate. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
