King Arthur Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10" x 15" jelly roll pan or a 9" x 13" pan. For guaranteed easy removal of the brownies, line the greased pan with parchment, and grease the parchment.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter.
• Add the sugar, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
• Stir in the cocoa, espresso powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
• Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth.
• Add the flour, chips, and optional nuts, again stirring until smooth.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the brownies for 28 to 34 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and barely set in the center.
• Remove the brownies from the oven, and cool for at least 1 hour before cutting.
• Use a 1 1/2" round cutter to cut as many circles as possible (about 46) out of the brownies in a 10" x 15" pan. You'll get about 38 from a 9" x 13" pan. Wrap well; enjoy the leftover scraps.
• Just before serving, garnish the brownies with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a dusting of espresso powder.
• These are great with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it's hot (about 110°F to 120°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
• Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth; then add the flour, chips, espresso powder, and nuts, again stirring until smooth. Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
• Bake the brownies in a preheated 350°F oven for 28 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges and in the center (barely). Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
• In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan, melt the butter on low heat, then add the sugar and stir to combine.
• Return the mixture to the heat or microwave briefly, just until it's hot but not bubbling. It will become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the buter and sugar a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
• Transfer the mix to a mixing bowl.
• Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
• Add the eggs, beating till smooth; then add teh flour and chips and nuts if using. Beat until well combined.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the brownies for 28-30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
• The brownies should feel set both around the edges and in the center.
• Remove from the oven, and after 5 minutes loosen the edges with a table knife, this will help preven the brownies from sinking in the center as they cool.
• Cool completely before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan.
• In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it's hot (about 110°F to 120°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
• While the sugar heats a second time, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add the hot butter/sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
• Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth. If you want the chips to remain visible in the brownies, wait about 20 minutes before adding them to the batter. Otherwise, they'll melt.
• Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
• Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
