Combine the flour, cornstarch, almond flour, chocolate chips, ginger powder and, baking powder in a bowl and mix with a fork.

Whisk the butter with the brown sugar and a pinch of salt until it becomes soft and fluffy. Lightly beat the eggs and add them gradually to the mixture, stirring gently.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to the edges with a small offset spatula.
