Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 Tbsp Four Roses Bourbon (or any good quality bourbon)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg, molasses, bourbon, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Top with additional white chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain a chewy texture.
- You can substitute with another bourbon, but Four Roses provides a great flavor balance.
- These bars store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
