  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
  5. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the gingerbread cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
They're perfect for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, or simply enjoying with a warm cup of cocoa 🍪✨
