These have been a Christmas staple for several years running and are a snap to make.
9 oz (2 cups) flour
1 tsp baking soda
0.25 tsp salt
2.5 tsp ginger
1.25 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp cloves
6.5 oz (13 Tbs) unsalted butter, softened
10.5 oz (1.33 cups) sugar
2 oz (2.5 Tbs) molasses
1.5 oz (4.5 tsp) honey
2 eggs
confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350F, lightly grease a 9×13 cake pan.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
Beat the butter, sugar, molasses, and honey until creamy and well blended, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beat until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until just blended. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
Bake until the edges just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 23 to 25 minutes.
Cut into bars, dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar.
