Chocolate Ginger Brownies

One of the recipes from Martha Stewart’s COOKIES book that I’ve been so excited to try out is chocolate ginger brownies.  I finally got some fresh ginger so I baked up a batch of these this past week.

They were really amazing – gooey and gingery!  I don’t think you could make these without the fresh ginger and still have them taste just as great – so don’t try to substitute the fresh ginger with more ground dry ginger, use fresh!

I will note that these seemed to taste better fresh from the oven.  They seemed to become stale and hard really quickly.  I’d definitely recommend eating all these up  on the same day that you bake them.  If not, put a square of brownie in the microwave for about 10 seconds to warm it back up.
