Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, melted
• ½ cup sugar
• 11/2 cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ⅓ cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon allspice
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and molasses and beat until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. *The batter does get thick, so a stand mixer works best if you have one.
• Add the egg and stir until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until dough is well combined. It will be thick, like cookie dough.
• Spread the dough with a silicone spatula (or your fingers) evenly into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool.
• Cool completely before frosting (optional) and cutting into squares.
