Chai Bars with Honey Ginger Icing
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- ½. c. brown sugar
- ½ c. white sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened.
- 1 egg
- 2 c. flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 tsp ginger
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp. cloves
- ¾ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground star anise
For the icing:
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- water
Instructions
For the bars:
- Mix butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Add egg and mix well. Add flour, spices and salt, and stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Press into a 9X12 baking pan that has been greased with Baker’s Joy (or buttered and floured) and smooth with a spatula until the dough is even and flat. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until the cookies are a pale golden brown. Let cool.
For the icing:
- Mix honey, ground ginger, and powdered sugar together in a bowl. Add water until the icing is at a spreadable consistency, and spread over the cooled cookies. Cut with a pastry cutter or pizza wheel. It will take several hours for the icing to become firm enough to transport, so plan accordingly.
