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

Little Figgy Food
Love these almost biscotti-like Ginger Snap Bars, they have a perfect balance of sweet and the kick of ginger.

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)

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Mix all of the dry ingredients from oatmeal to cream of tartar until well incorporated.
  • Add the melted butter to dry ingredients and mix.
  • Now add in the sugar and syrup, mix until well combined.
  • 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.
  • Bake in 375°F preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until starting to turn golden.
  • 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!
