Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars.

Step 3

Whisk in molasses, egg, and vanilla.

Step 4

Once well combined, fold in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. This will form a thick batter. Do not over-mix.

Pour into a prepared (lined and greased) 8×8 square pan. Spread out evenly.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While it cools, prep the frosting. In a stand mixer cream together cream cheese and butter on medium speed for 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Add in powdered sugar and vanilla and continue mixing until a smooth and thick frosting has formed.

Step 9

For thicker frosting, add more sugar until desired preference has been reached.

Step 10

Once the bars have completely cooled, frost and decorate with sprinkles and gingerbread men (optional).

Enjoy!
