Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9 × 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.

2. With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat to combine. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips.

3. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely in the pan. Cut into desired size squares.

4. To Freeze: Instead of baking the batter, freeze it in the pan for up to 2 months. Wrap first with plastic wrap and then cover with foil. To bake, uncover completely and follow the recipe instructions, baking from frozen, and use the upper end of the time range.
