Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Bars

White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Bars

Gingerbread cookies in thick and chewy bar form with white chocolate chips, pieces of candied ginger and a white chocolate cream cheese frosting!

Gingerbread cookies are a classic and I also enjoy gingerbread bars, the same gingerbread flavour in a larger, soft and chewy bar form! Yum! This is a pretty basic bar recipe that uses all brown sugar and molasses, which adds flavour and the brown colour. The spices include plenty of ginger along with some cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. I like to add white chocolate chips and candied or crystallized ginger (cut into small pieces) to the bars; you can never go wrong with chocolate and the candied ginger adds even more ginger flavour! These bars are amazing without icing but I enjoy topping them with a white chocolate cream cheese frosting!
