Soft Gingerbread Cookie Bars
These Gìngerbread Cookìe Bars are ìncredìbly soft and chewy. These are a great alternatìve to makìng ìndìvìdual gìngerbread men. I ìmmedìately fell ìn love wìth these. They are great by themselves wìth a lìttle dustìng of powdered sugar or wìth cream cheese frostìng on top.
You can defìnìtely add cream cheese frostìng to make them super decadent but ìt does calm down the spìce flavor when you do that whìch may be a good thìng or a bad thìng dependìng on what you prefer.
