Crystallized Ginger Bar Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

Combine the flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Stir in the crystallized ginger with a fork until just mixed.

Press the dough into an even layer in the greased baking pan. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. When cool, cut into bars. Can be frozen or stored at room temperature for up to one week in an airtight container.
