Donna's Spanish Bars

"This is very moist and delicious cookie bar that has been in my family for years. Always roll in granulated sugar and store in a container with a tight lid."

Ingredients :

2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration

Instructions :

Prep :	Cook : 15M	Ready in :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix until light and fluffy. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk and vinegar. Mix well with an electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until cookie feels firm.
After cooling, cut cookie into 2 inch bars. Roll each bar in sugar and store in covered tins. This one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. Enjoy!!
