How to Make Frosted Molasses Bars

Step-by-Step

Sift flour with baking powder, salt, soda, cinnamon and cloves; set aside.

Beat shortening and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy; beat in egg, 1/2 cup molasses and 1/3 cup water.

At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until combined. Turn into prepared pan. (Lightly greased 9 x 13 pan).

Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

Frost while still warm by mixing 2 Tbls. melted butter, 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, and 1 Tbls. molasses together and spreading over warm molasses bars. (Add a tiny bit of water if necessary)

Cool; cut into 2 inch bars.

(These bake like brownies! EASY AND DELICIOUS!)
