Ingredients for Molasses Cookie Bars Recipe :
Unsalted Butter :
Unsalted butter allows you to completely control the flavour of your recipe. This is especially important in baked goods that rely heavily on the pure, sweet cream flavour of butter (butter cookies or pound cakes). When it comes to cooking, unsalted butter allows the true, natural flavour of your foods to shine through.
Molasses :
Molasses main role in cookies is to add a lot of flavour! It also adds sweetness (although sugar is also a part of this recipe). Molasses, as one of the wet ingredients in the batter, also contributes to the rich brown colour.
Cinnamon Powder :
Ground cinnamon is added to dry mixtures, quick-cooking recipes, and recipes that call for a stronger flavour. Its simple to swap ground cinnamon for cinnamon sticks, but be careful not to overpower the dish.
