1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Dessert

Time 44m

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or chopped nuts, such as walnuts or cashews ( (or use a combo of these add-ins))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan, or spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the brown sugar, and stir until blended. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, then add the eggs, one at a time, and stir to mix quickly until well combined, so the eggs don't cook in the still slightly warm brown sugar mixture.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the saucepan and stir until combined. Stir in the nuts or chips, if using, and spread into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until a wooden skewer or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 24 to 28 minutes.
  • Cool them in the pan on a wire rack. When cool, cut into 24 squares.

THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES



The Best Fudgy Brownies image

We've created the perfect brownie by employing a few tips and tricks. Using both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder gives us the deep and complex chocolate flavor we crave. Cooking the butter until golden brown adds a toasted nuttiness, while the pop of cream provides luscious texture.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick baking spray
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (64-percent cacao), chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla paste or extract
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
6 large eggs, chilled

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
  • Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
  • Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips or bars for the best flavor. Chop the chocolate into small pieces so that it melts evenly throughout the brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, chewy brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • For extra fudgy brownies, use a combination of butter and vegetable oil in the batter. The butter will add richness and flavor, while the vegetable oil will help to keep the brownies moist.
  • To make butterscotch brownies, swirl a butterscotch sauce into the batter before baking. You can also top the brownies with a butterscotch glaze after they have cooled.

Conclusion:

Fudgy butterscotch brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create perfect fudgy butterscotch brownies every time.
