Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. cloves
  • 3/4 tsp. ginger
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Drizzle:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. milk more as necessary for thinning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, egg, and molasses. In a separate bowl, stir together baking soda, salt cinnamon, cloves, ginger and flour. Add it to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
  • Spread/press dough into parchment paper-lined pan and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Allow them to cool completely.
  • To make the drizzle, stir together powdered sugar and milk (adding more milk a little at a time, if needed, until it reaches the desired consistency). Drizzle the bars, let it set, then slice and serve.
