Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. This will help you easily remove the brownies once they're baked.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until it's nice and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes. This step is key to getting a beautiful texture.
• Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then pour in the molasses, ensuring everything is well combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently just until everything is combined.
• If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now for that extra chocolaty goodness!
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Let your brownies cool in the pan for a while before transferring them to a wire rack. Once they're completely cool, slice them into squares and enjoy your delicious gingerbread brownies!
