Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and molasses.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • For chewier bars, bake for the shorter end of the time range.
  • You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts along with the chocolate chips if you like.
  • These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
