Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon micro-ground coffee or espresso powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for about 45 seconds and then check; you want it mostly melted with a few small chunks. Stir and continue to microwave in 15-second intervals if necessary.
  • Stir the chocolate mixture until relatively smooth, then stir in the coffee. Stir in the sugar, then then the vanilla, and then the egg. Mix well. Add the salt and flour and mix until just smooth.
  • Spread the batter on the prepared baking sheet with a rubber spatula. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Cut the brownie into strips or into shapes with cookie cutters. Devour with ice cream, or serve as bite-size treats.

BETTER-THAN-THE-BAG BROWNIE CRISPS

The brownie for those who like the edges, the part of the brownie where the crisp meets the chewy. Remember, the thinner the batter, the crispier the result. Adjust baking time accordingly.

Sheet-Pan Brownie Thins image

These sheet-pan brownies don't require any special equipment, all you need is a standard 18x13" rimmed baking sheet and a bowl. The batter gets spread into a thin layer yielding rich, chewy (not cakey!) brownies that are about 1/4-inch thick-perfect for parties, bake sales, or a sweet treat that doesn't feel over-indulgent.

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts, pecans, or mini chocolate chips

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your brownies, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough, so be careful not to mix it too much. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. To test if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make delicious brownies every time. Brownies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and other gatherings. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, reach for a brownie.
