GINGERBREAD BROWNIES
Steps:
- Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Coat a 9x9" baking pan with nonstick spray. Line pan with 2 overlapping layers of parchment, leaving a 2" overhang on all sides. Coat parchment with nonstick spray.
- Whisk sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a large bowl. Melt butter in a medium heatproof bowl in the microwave or in a medium pot over medium heat. Immediately add hot butter to sugar mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously with spoon or spatula after each addition, until batter is thick, shiny, and smooth. Stir in molasses and vanilla. Using a sifter or fine-mesh sieve, sift in flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, and cloves. Stir until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake brownie until slightly puffed and top is firm to the touch, edges are set, center is moist but not uncooked, and a tester or paring knife inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 40-45 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let brownie cool completely in pan. Using parchment overhang, lift brownie out of pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F and line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the brownies out of the pan. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine Brownie Mix, spices, orange zest, eggs, melted butter, and water. Beat on medium speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake for about 32-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into 10 triangles (trees) like shown in the picture above.
- Transfer the Christmas trees to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine Confectioners' sugar and 2 tsp water or rum. Add a little bit more water if needed. The glaze should be thick.
- Transfer the glaze into a piping bag (or ziplock bag) and starting at the top of the tree, gently squeeze the glaze out of the bag moving in a zigzag pattern as you go down the tree. Immediately add your favorite sprinkles after piping the zigzags. (The glaze will dry quickly!)
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, grated ginger. Ground ginger powder can also be used, but it will not provide the same level of zing.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chunks instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you don't have molasses, you can substitute an equal amount of honey or maple syrup.
- To make sure the brownies are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the brownies are done.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These gingerbread brownies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and warm gingerbread spices, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
