To make these bars, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the gingersnap cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
