Holiday Gingerbread Cookie Bars

These chewy Holiday Gingerbread Cookie Bars combine rich molasses with ginger and cinnamon for a spice filled bar with added M&Ms! A quick and easy alternative to making gingerbread men for your holiday dessert table.

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is baking. Cookies, brownies, cakes, pies – I love to bake all my family’s favorite treats while adding special holiday touches, like in these Gingerbread Cookie Bars.

For me gingerbread is one of the classic holiday flavors that I have to make every year! My family and I always make a gingerbread house of some kind, and we enjoy making and decorating gingerbread men too. 

But a holiday creation like this Gingerbread Noah’s Ark takes days to make, and even rolling out and decorating gingerbread men is an afternoon long activity. Sometimes I want the gingerbread taste without the fuss, which is what this recipe delivers. 

This gingerbread cookie bar recipe is quick and easy so it takes only a few minutes to deliver the subtle spices combined with molasses and the perfect gingerbread taste.
