Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling. Stir in both sugars until smooth.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, spices, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in molasses, chocolate chips, and crystallized ginger.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan, then slice into squares.
