What you need
  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  5. 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  6. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  7. 13 tablespoons unsalted butter, soften at room temperature
  8. 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  9. 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses
  10. 4 1/2 teaspoons honey
  11. 2 extra-large eggs
  12. Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling
What you do
  1. Heat oven to 350′ F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9″ baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves until blended.
  3. Use the paddle attachment of a stand mixer (or hand mixer) and beat the butter, sugar, molasses and honey until creamy and well blended – a few minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just blended.
  5. Scrape the batter in to the pan and spread evenly. Bake until the edges just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean – 23 to 25 minutes (I like them a little undercooked to make it chewy and gooey).
  6. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely. Cut in to squares, bars or triangles.
  7. Sift a light coating of confectioners’ sugar over the cookies once cool.
Tips & tricks
  1. Store at room temperature (cover in plastic wrap or lid to keep fresh) or freeze in an airtight container, separating the layers with wax paper.
