Open in Pepper →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.
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.
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.
Cool before slicing
Give the pan at least 1 hour on a rack; warm brownies smear on the knife instead of cutting.
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.
