Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2.	In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisking occasionally until it turns brown. This should take about 7-10 minutes, but watch it carefully to prevent burning.
3.	In a large bowl, mix together the browned butter and icing sugar until well combined.
4.	Gradually add in the flour and chopped ginger, stirring until just combined.
5.	Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
7.	Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the shortbread out and onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
