    2 cups+2tbsp All-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoon Gingerbread Man Spice Blend, 1 teaspoon Baking soda

    1 cup Dark brown sugar
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract.

    ¼ cup Molasses
  • Switch to a rubber spatula and add the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix them in. Do Not Overmix.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12- 14 minutes. The blondie is ready when the sides look set, and an insert comes out clean.

  • Beat the butter for 3-5 minutes until it is light, pale, and fluffy.
    ½ cup Butter
  • Mix the spice into the sifted powdered sugar, add the sugar in ¼ of a cup, and beat well after each additionles.

    2-3 tablespoon Heavy cream
  • Add the molasses and vanilla extract and mix well.
    2 teaspoon Vanilla extract, ⅓ cup Molasses
  • Lastly, add two tablespoons of room-temperature cream cheese, one tablespoon at a time! Cream cheese adds flavour, a bit of salt and a creamy texture to the frosting.
