Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Cloves
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Non-Alcoholic Gin Flavoring Extract
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (for frosting)
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
- 1–2 tbsp Milk or Cream
- 1 tsp Non-Alcoholic Gin Flavoring Extract (for frosting)
- Pinch of Gingerbread Spices (for frosting)
- Optional: Cream Cheese (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until mostly liquid. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until light in color and thickened. Stir in the molasses and non-alcoholic gin flavoring extract.
- Pour the cooled butter and cocoa mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir gently until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no streaks of flour remain.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese (if using) until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Beat in the non-alcoholic gin flavoring extract and milk or cream until desired consistency is reached. Stir in a pinch of ginger and cinnamon.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve.
