How to Make Chewy Double Ginger Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9-inch metal baking pan.
  3. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with lifting out the baked squares.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Whisk in ½ cup molasses, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chopped crystallized ginger.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 35 minutes.
  11. Let the squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
