Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in sugar, ground ginger, and vanilla until just combined.

Step 4

One at a time, stir in the eggs.

Step 5

Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined.

Step 6

Pour batter (it will be very thick!) into a greased 8 x 8 pan. Spread to even out the top and place in the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 45-50 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If it is overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes. (Just be careful not to burn the edges.)

Step 8

Allow to cool COMPLETELY before cutting.
