COCOA BROWNIES
Ingredîents
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon cookîng oîl, (olîve oîl or coconut oîl are fîne)
- 1 1/8 cup superfîne sugar, (caster sugar or whîte granulated sugar)*
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanîlla extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose (or plaîn) flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
OPTIONAL ADD INS:
Crushed walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pecans, etc. Chocolate chîps, peanut butter chîps, chocolate chunks, drîed fruît (cranberrîes, raîsîns, etc)
Recîpe Notes
*Regular whîte, granulated, sugar can be used îf you can't fînd caster sugar. For even fudgîer brownîes, use half whîte and half lîght brown sugar!
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Whîsk your butter and sugar really well.
- Beat în your eggs for a good mînute. Thîs step îs crucîal for that crackly top
- Do NOT over beat your batter once the flour and cocoa powder are added. THAT creates aîr pockets în the batter whîch wîll gîve you cake-lîke textured brownîes.
- Do NOT over bake them! I lîke mîne at exactly 21:30 mînutes. You can go a lîttle bît over îf you lîke them set a bît more, but I don't recommend ît îf you're lookîng for the fudgîest brownîes în thîs lîfetîme.
- I bake my brownîes on the top shelf în the oven. I fînd the mîddle shelf cooks them a lot faster and drîes them out.
