Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 or 11 x 7 baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix these well.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted and cooled butter, molasses, and the eggs. Whisk until they are light and frothy.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together. Do not over beat this batter. It will be thick.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
- If you would like to decorate the brownies then place a mini cookie cutter on a slice of brownie. Dust over the cookie-cutter generously with powdered sugar. Remove the cookie cutter and it will show the shape of the cutter.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
