Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 30 biscotti, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (20 ounce) package fudge brownie mix
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup white chocolate, melted (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients; mix well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg whites and extract. Add to brownie mixture stir until combined.
  • Divide dough into thirds.
  • On a greased baking sheet using greased hands, shape each portion of dough into a 7-inch x 3-1/2-inch rectangle.
  • Bake at 350º for 24 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices cut side down on greased baking sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes longer or until firm.
  • Cool on wire racks. Drizzle with melted white chocolate (optional). Let stand until chocolate is set. Store in airtight container. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the brownies will be. Use real butter, dark chocolate, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking brownies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking them at a higher temperature will make them dry and crumbly. Baking them at a lower temperature will make them gooey and undercooked.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will make them fall apart. Let them cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Conclusion:

Brownies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best brownies you've ever tasted.
