Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x15x1 inch rimmed baking sheet, or line with foil. Set aside.
• Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat sugars and butter until sooth and creamy. Add egg and molasses and beat until combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Add half the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients, beating until combined (the mixture will be thick). Stir in chocolate chips.
• Dump the dough into the prepared pan and use your hands to press it into an even layer. If necessary, dampen your fingers with water. Bake for 14-16 minutes (see note). If desired, you can press additional chocolate chips onto the top of the bars right after baking. Place pan on a wire rack to cool.
