Gingerbread Brownies

What a treat! Cake-like brownies that also include the classic gingerbread ingredients of molasses, ground ginger, and cloves.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 2 eggs
• Powdered sugar

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, molasses, and eggs. Add to flour mixture, stirring until combined. Do not beat (the batter will be thick). Spread batter in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar sprinkled through a paper doily. Cut into squares.
