Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of melted unsalted butter with 1 ½ cups of light brown sugar. Mix until smooth, then add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of molasses, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until silky.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
  6. Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and the center is firm yet slightly soft.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for approximately 1 hour. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
  8. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and slice into squares. Serve and enjoy!
