OUTRAGEOUS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
• Melt together the butter, chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and chocolate chips with flour to coat. Then add to the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not overbake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.
• This was adapted from a recipe for chocolate globs in the Soho Charcuterie Cookbook.

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
• Mix oil and sugar until well blended.
• Add eggs and vanilla; stir just until blended.
• Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.
• Pour into greased 9 x 9 square pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until sides just starts to pull away from the pan.
• Cool completely before cutting.
• Note: I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan. If you double the recipe, you will need to cook longer than 20 minutes.

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
• Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.

ONE-BOWL FUDGY BROWNIES AS MADE BY ALEXIS DEBOSCHNEK RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper.
• Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted.
• Add melted butter to the bowl with the chocolate and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until just combined. Add the sugar and beat until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until incorporated. Add a pinch of kosher salt and the flour and mix on low speed until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
• Add the walnuts, if using, and fold in with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
• Place the baking pan on the center oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes, until the top is crinkly. These are barely baked, fudgy brownies. Do not use a toothpick to test, as it will come out with batter on it. The brownies will set as they rest.
• Let the brownies cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Continue cooling until the brownies are room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Carefully use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares.
• Enjoy!

GALACTIC BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch rimmed baking sheet or pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with more nonstick spray.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and bring to a boil, stirring frequently with a heat-safe rubber spatula. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. Stir constantly until the butter turns nutty brown, about 10 minutes total. Turn off the heat, add the chocolate, and stir to melt and combine with the browned butter. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars, salt, and the butter-chocolate mixture. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and continue mixing until smooth, about 3 minutes more. Add the vanilla and mix just to combine.
• Sift in the cocoa powder, flour and espresso powder, if using. Mix on medium-low speed until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, using an offset spatula to spread evenly.
• Bake the brownies until slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
• While the brownies are baking, make the frosting: Add the dark and milk chocolate to a medium heat-proof bowl.
• Add the heavy cream and butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted completely, pour the mixture over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir together until smooth and creamy.
• While the brownies are still hot, pour the frosting over the top. Use an offset spatula to spread evenly, covering the brownies completely. Sprinkle the rainbow chips evenly across the frosting.
• Let the brownies cool at room temperature for 2 hours to set the frosting and the brownie crumb. Transfer the brownies to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill completely for the ultimate fudgy texture.
• Cut the chilled brownies into 12 pieces.
• Enjoy!
