Cookie Sheet Brownies Recipes

COOKIE SHEET BROWNIES

Steps:

• For brownies: In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs one at a time, stir. Add syrup, mix well. Add flour, mix well. Pour into a greased cookie sheet with 1" sides. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minute.
• For frosting: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, allow to boil for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chips, mix well. Frost brownies as soon as they are removed from the oven.
• Enjoy!

SHEET PAN FUDGY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet (12X18-inches) and set aside.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate; microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth (don't overheat, it should be slightly warm, if at all). Add the sugar and stir until combined.
• Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, and mix until large bubbles pop at the surface - it will go from looking slightly curdled to really glossy and thick so keep stirring until you see the change. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix once or twice. With dry streaks remaining, add the chocolate chips and mix until well-combined.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the middle is still slightly gooey. If you want extra dense, fudgy brownies, halfway through the baking time, carefully lift up the baking pan and let it drop on the oven rack to release any air bubbles (totally optional). Let the brownies cool completely in the pan (I like to refrigerate them after they have baked and cooled - easier cutting and ultra-delicious, and don't get me started on how incredible these are straight from the freezer).

SHEET-PAN BROWNIE THINS

Steps:

• Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Very generously butter an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet (do not line with parchment).
• Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave or set over a pot of barely simmering water. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour butter over and stir until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition, until batter is thick, shiny, and smooth. Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
• Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
• Bake brownies until firm to the touch and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 15-18 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into 36 pieces and serve.
• Do Ahead
• Brownies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 6 months.
