Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in both the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Carefully fold in molasses, semisweet chocolate chips, and chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift them out using the parchment paper overhang before cutting into squares.
