Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and mix with 1 cup of light brown sugar until smooth.

Add 2 large room temperature eggs, 1/2 cup molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set.

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar, cut into squares, and serve.
