Event Description

Nicole's crackly brownies

INGREDIENTS
 
3/4 cup  all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (a little less if using salted butter)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 Tablespoons oil canola, vegetable, or coconut will work
3/4 C granulated sugar
1/3 C brown sugar
3 med-large eggs

Optional: 3/4 cup chocolate chips

350 F - 30 mins - 9x9 pan

INSTRUCTIONS
 
In a largebowl, mix/sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, oil, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is completely melted. Remove from heat. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and remaining sugar. Whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds.

Preheat over, if you did not yet.

Slowly, pour the warm butter mixture intothe egg mixture, adding it very gradually (a little bit at a time) and whisking constantly until completely combined.

Add in the dry ingredients (and chocolate chips) and, using a rubber spatula, slowly stir until justcombined. 

Scrape the batter into a parchment/oiled 9x9 pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the top is shiny and slightly cracked. Place pan on a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing

Tips:
 - Do not over mix! Stop stirring when you see the last trace of dry ingredients. Over mixing will give you cakey brownies.
 - Melting the sugar into the butter is what makes the crackly top
 - use parchment paper and/or oil in pan
