Chewy Honey Bars

submitted by joan.hirsch

This very low-tech recipe fits right into summer schedules, when you want
to spend plenty of time outdoors. You use only a small saucepan, bowl,
spoon and pan to make chewy bar cookies that travel and keep well.

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash cloves
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup mild or dark honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts

Heat oven to 325-degrees. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick
spray. In small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, ginger, salt,
cinnamon and cloves. Melt butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Remove
from heat. Stir in honey until well blended. Let stand until saucepan is
just warm to the touch. Whisk egg into honey mixture. Stir in vanilla and
flour mixture. Batter should be smooth and thin. Stir in walnuts. Pour
into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center
comes out almost clean, with a few crumbs remaining. Cool in pan. (Bars
will sink slightly as they cool). Store in airtight container. Recipe
makes 16 bars.
