Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and molasses and continue to beat.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and baking soda and whisk.
Add to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Spread about half of the gingerbread in the bottom of the pan and use a spatula to create an even layer. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is creamy. Add in the sugar and flour and beat until smooth.
Add in the eggs, vanilla and cinnamon and beat until smooth and creamy.
Pour over the top of the gingerbread base and smooth into an even layer.
Take the remaining gingerbread dough and drop it in small spoonfuls over the top of the cheesecake layer and try to smooth together. It’s okay if it’s not perfectly smooth.
Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden. The middle will not be firm, but it will set as it cools.
Let the bars come to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to chill for 4 hours before slicing.
