My Gingerbread Cookie Bars are a great substitute for sugary Gingerbread Cookies. They’re full of Winter spice and topped with my fluffy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing. This icing really makes the bars unique and compliments the gingerbread flavor. The fact that they’re in bar form makes the prep work minimal and keeps things a bit more simple! These bars are low-carb, sugar-free and fall into the THM:S category. They pair perfectly with a creamy cup of coffee and good conversation. 🙂
These bars have the consistency of a brownie. They aren’t quite a cookie, yet not a cake either! They’re a great way to bring some holiday spirit to your family and since they are so easy to make, even the littlest helpers can play a part! My little ones dumped the spices and loved it.

Quick question: 1/8 TEASPOON of molasses? I’m in the middle of this recipe, and the batter is not nearly as dark as your photo. I wondered if I should add more molasses. Thanks!!
Yes, 1/8 teaspoon! 🙂 I take my photos with specific lighting/editing tools, so that might be why my batter looks a bit darker! 🙂
Okay, thank you! After baking, mine was much darker also. 🙂 Now for them to cool so I can sample!
I hope you like them! 🙂
Can’t read all the ingredients due to ad placement. A real shame and it will not allow me to type the ads covering. Looks good.
