Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and molasses until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly; bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out, cutting into squares, and serving, optionally dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, drizzle cooled brownies with a simple cream cheese glaze or sprinkle with candied ginger pieces.
