List of Ingredients
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup sugar
2 cups all purpose flour, no need to sift
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
2 cups 10x powdered sugar
2 tablespoons softened butter
Lemon juiceRecipe
Heat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in molasses and sugar. Combine flour with cinnamon, allspice, ginger, soda, and salt. Stir into first mixture. Add beaten egg and mix well. Stir in nuts, if used. Grease or spray a jelly roll pan (11x15 inches). Spread dough evenly into pan. (Wet hands work best for doing this.) Bake 20 to 23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool slightly while you make the glaze. Sift the sugar and mix in the softened butter. Add fresh lemon juice a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. Spread evenly over the gingerbread while it is still warm. Let cool completely in the pan. Cut into bars.
