Instructions
For the Gingerbread Cookie Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients, spices, and the sugar.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined.
- For thicker bars, press the batter into an even layer in a 9x13 baking dish. For thinner bars, press the batter into an even layer on a standard sized half sheet pan, about 17x12. It will not reach the edges but should be about ¾ of an inch thick.
- For a 9x13 pan, bake for 25-30 minutes. For a sheet pan, bake for 15-20 minutes. In both cases, a toothpick should come out clean.
- Let cool and then ice with cream cheese frosting.

- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream.
