How to Make Gingerbread Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup molasses, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the gingerbread cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
- Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar before serving.
