Several chewy, golden-brown Ginger Snap cookie bars are stacked and scattered on a wooden board lined with parchment paper. The bars have a crumbly texture and appear moist inside, with some pieces broken to reveal the gingery interior.

Ginger Snap Bars

4.34 from 3 votes
Love these almost biscotti-like Ginger Snap Bars, they have a perfect balance of sweet and the kick of ginger.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 12 - 18 squares

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Oatmeal
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ - 2 Tbls ground Ginger
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 cup soft Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbls Golden Syrup (or substitute 4 tsp light Corn Syrup and 2 tsp Molasses)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and line small baking or jelly roll pan (10.5 x 15.5 inches, and 1 inch deep) with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients from oatmeal to cream of tartar until well incorporated.
  3. Add the melted butter to dry ingredients and mix.
  4. Now add in the sugar and syrup, mix until well combined.
  5. The mixture will be slightly sticky, adding butter to your hands helps to prevent a sticky mess. Pour the mixture into the greased and lined pan (make sure this pan has at least a 1/2 inch lip around the sides). Lightly press the mixture down until even across the top and about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Bake in 375°F preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until starting to turn golden.
  7. Remove from oven, cool for about 2 - 3 minutes, then using a knife, score halfway down and across the top into 2-inch squares. Continue to cool, then finish cutting into squares.
Enjoy!
