Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the melted butter and light brown sugar until smooth for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract until combined into a smooth batter, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly soft, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
