    About Molasses Cookie Bar Recipe

    After baking, Cookie bars are made from batter or other ingredients that are poured or pressed into a pan (sometimes in multiple layers) and cut into cookie-sized pieces. In British English, bar cookies are referred to as tray bakes. Brownies, fruit squares, and bars like date squares are all examples. Molasses is a liquid, it makes baked
    goods moister and chewier. Always keep this in mind when making baked goods that need to be dry or crunchy. Molasses is a dark brown substance that will darken the appearance of your baked goods.

    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.
