Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp Espresso powder (optional)
  • 1.5 sticks Unsalted butter
  • 3 Tbs Oil (canola or veggie)
  • 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
  • Holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and the espresso powder. Set aside
  2. 2In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, oil, and 1/2 cups of sugar. Heat over medium, stirring frequently, until butter is completely melted. Remove from heat.
  3. 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and remaining sugar. Whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds
  4. 4Slowly, pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, adding it gradually and whisking constantly until completely combined
  5. 5Add in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and, using a rubber spatula, slowly stir until just combined. Do not over mix! Over mixing will give you cakey brownies
  6. 6Pour the batter into a 9x9 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the top is shiny and slightly cracked.
  7. 7Place pan on a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing
  8. 8Enjoy!

Brownies Thick Enough To Slice Like Cake

A pan of brownies is the dessert you can make without a plan. Flour, sugar, eggs, butter, cocoa — most nights it's already in the cabinet, and it bakes while dinner dishes soak.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when somebody needs a birthday treat, a potluck pan, or one warm square at 9 p.m. after everybody else has gone to bed.

Every recipe here is a brownie you can cut into squares and call cake: Mickey Mouse Brownies for a kid's party, Triple Layer Brownies with peanut butter, Homemade Cosmic Brownies, Skillet Cheesecake Brownies, small batch chocolate fudge brownies, and a Chocolate Brownie Mug Cake for one.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Line the pan first

    Leave 2 inches of parchment hanging over two sides so you can lift the whole slab out and cut clean squares.

  2. 2

    Pull them early

    Check at 25 minutes — a few moist crumbs on the toothpick means fudgy, and a clean pick means they're already dry.

  3. 3

    Cool before slicing

    Give the pan at least 1 hour on a rack; warm brownies smear on the knife instead of cutting.

  4. 4

    Melt chocolate low and slow

    Butter and chocolate chips go in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between, so the chocolate doesn't seize.
