02 - Stir together the melted butter and brown sugar, then whisk in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract.
03 - In another bowl, combine the flour, spices, baking powder, and salt by giving them a good whisk.
04 - Slowly add the dry stuff to the wet mixture. Keep mixing till it’s all blended together.
