Ingredients:

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 large egg yolk

2 large eggs

2 cups All Purpose Gold Medal® Flour

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts

1/3 cup molasses

1 cup oats

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)

Equipment:

baking paper

oven

frying pan

hand mixer

bowl

whisk

toothpicks

knife

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper- allowing enough to overhang on the long sides to lift the bars from the pan. Spray the parchment with nonstick spray too.2. Place the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the molasses, eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat well. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cloves. Add it to the wet ingredients and beat until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in most of the chips and nuts, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.4. Drop spoonfuls of the dough all over the prepared pan. Use wet hands (or hands sprayed with nonstick spray) to pat the dough into the pan. It will be sticky and wet. Spread it out as evenly as you can. Sprinkle any reserved chips or nuts on top.5. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bars are baked through and no longer gooey inside (do the toothpick check). The center should be springy and not soft, and the bars will turn golden brown. Let the bars cool completely before slicing with a sharp knife. They're even easier to slice if you refrigerate them first.

Food Trivia

Perhaps as a relic of an ancient Roman custom of planting parsley on graves, a sprig of parsley was either associated with the devil or as an antidote for poison. Adding a sprig to a plate of food may have originated as a gesture of good faith and as way to safeguard the meal from evil.

Food Joke

A lawyer, a fervent Democrat dressed in casual clothes, sits down to have his lunch in a park across from his office. The he notices a very distinguished and dignified man sit down a few feet away on the grass; he extremely well dressed in a tailored Hickey Freeman pinstriped suit, silk tie, starched white shirt, cuff links, tiepin, Rolex, highly polished black wingtips and silk socks. He places his expensive briefcase next to him and prepares for lunch. "One of those Republicans, I’ll bet" thought the lawyer, and after introducing himself, he found out he is right – not only a Republican, but an investment banker. The lawyer glances at the banker’s shoes, glistening in the sunlight. Lawyer: You have those polished every day, don’t you. Investment Banker: Just about. I have to look good for the clients. Lawyer: What about the poor? A few shoeshine would pay for a lot food. Investment Banker: I help them through taxes, but we all have personal responsibility. Lawyer: I'm telling you, the poor only need a chance! We should be GIVING them money; they haven't had our advantages! Investment Banker: We all have to work for what we have. Lawyer: Look, poverty can happen to anyone! There's no way you can know that from where you sit! "Keep talking if you want to. When I sleep, nothing wakes me…and I mean NOTHING. "The investment banker sighs, then takes off his suit jacket, places it on the grass and falls deeply asleep. Then a barefoot homeless man appears, and asks the lawyer for change. The lawyer apologizes, and says he has nothing, but then he sees the investment banker's wallet in his suit pocket. He slips it out, and hands it to the homeless man; then he notices that the homeless man needs shoes. The he has an idea…he looks over at the feet of the sleeping investment banker… "Wait!" cries the lawyer. "I'm sure you need these more than he does." He then starts to untie the investment banker's polished wingtips and carefully pulls them off. Even more carefully, he pulls off his black dress socks and hands both shoes and socks to the astonished homeless man. "With my compliments!" Then the lawyer sees a sad woman with a baby walking by. "Can I help you?" he asks her. When he finds out that she needs money for her rent, the lawyer again approaches the snoring – and now barefoot - investment banker and removes his cuff links; then he slips the tiepin out of the silk tie and the Rolex off his wrist. He hands them all to the delighted woman. "Sell these!" the lawyer cries. "Oh, thank you sir" says the delighted woman, and runs off. Next, a man in a janitor's uniform walks by, looking dejected. "What's the matter, my friend?" says the lawyer sympathetically. "I..lost my job. I have a chance for a better one, but I don't have the clothes! This is all I have!" and he holds up a pair of old polyester pants. The lawyer sighs, and then sees the businessman's pinstriped suit jacket. "Would this help?" he asks the man. "Sure!" cries the man. "You could use a briefcase, too!" says the lawyer and opens up the investment banker's briefcase. He removes the contents and hands it to the joyful man. Then he looks at the investment banker's silk tie and white shirt. Can he manage it? He has to move the investment banker a few times, but he only snores and sleeps. Then he undoes the banker's belt and pulls it off. Triumphantly he hands the shirt, belt and tie to the man. "Wait" the lawyer cries. "You really need a full suit. Give me a hand and I’ll need those polyester pants. I’m getting good at this" and with great care and trouble, set to work. Ten minutes later, the sleeping investment banker was wearing the polyester pants and the man was staring happily at his tailored suit. He thanks the lawyer profusely and runs off. "How good it is to help people!" he says to himself. Twenty minutes later, a policeman walks up to the investment banker, and snaps: "Hey buddy, wake up, no loitering! We don't allow bums to sleep here" Finally the investment banker wakes up with a start and looks down at him.
