Gingerbread Blondies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and allspice; set aside.
• In medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in pecans. Spread in pan.
• Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted halfway between edge and center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle glaze over bars. Cut into 3 rows by 3 rows. Cut bars in half diagonally to form triangles. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment cut to fit, and coat parchment. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
• Beat butter and brown and granulated sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla and molasses. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Stir in white chocolate.
• Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake until edges are golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 2-inch squares or desired shape.

Steps:

• Position oven rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat oven to 350°; butter and flour a 9 inch baking pan; set aside.
• In a bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed; continue beating until pale brown and thick, about 5 minutes.
• Beat in the molasses until smooth and uniform.
• Then beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing the first to be thoroughly incorporated before adding the second; scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
• With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in first the chocolate chips, then the flour mixture, just until incorporated-do not beat.
• Spoon batter into pan, spreading it gently into the corners.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is light brown and pick comes out clean; set pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut the blondies into 16 squares while they are still in the pan; carefully remove them with an offset spatula.
• Serve immediately, or let cool completely before covering with plastic wrap for storage at room temperature.
