I personally think these are the best brownies in the world. Try them, I think you'll agree! To make the brownies rich and buttery, use melted butter instead of the vegetable oil.

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¾ cup cocoa powder
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract

BETTER-THAN-CASH BROWNIES



Better-Than-Cash Brownies image

I've been making these brownies for a while -- they're easy and inexpensive, and absolutely delicious -- but had neglected to post the recipe here. I recently made two batches of these as a thank-you gift for someone who refused to take payment for some work done for me, and they were a huge hit. I then realized I couldn't point anyone towards the recipe, as I often do, so it's definitely time to get this recipe on Zaar so it can be shared with everyone! I was told that these were "better than cash", hence the name!

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
3/4 cup cocoa (I highly recommend using natural cocoa, not dutch process cocoa)
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly grease an eight-inch baking pan (I spray it very lightly with Pam) and set aside.
  • Place the butter chunks in a glass mixing bowl and microwave on Medium power until melted (I find High power causes the melting butter to spatter all over the inside of my microwave, while the gentler power level seems to prevent this).
  • Put the cocoa, salt and instant coffee into a sieve (or sifter) and sift mixture into the melted butter -- you may need to use your fingers to force the coffee granules through the sieve -- and whisk until smooth.
  • Next, add in the sugar and whisk well; then add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition just until blended. Whisk in vanilla.
  • Using a sieve (or sifter), sift flour over chocolate mixture, then stir with a wooden spoon just to incorporate flour. Batter will be thick.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing top, and scatter a topping of your choice (nuts, chocolate chips, etc), if desired, over top. Twenty pecan halves or walnut halves, evenly spaced out, looks great and suits those who don't like nuts in brownies, as they can easily be picked off.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-32 minutes. A tester should come out with some crumbs on it. Do not overbake or brownies will not be fudgey. Let cool, in pan, then cut into small squares. Expect these brownies to not cut cleanly, some bits will cling to the knife.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help create a chewy brownie with a crispy crust.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're fudgy, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. With a few simple tips, you can make brownies that are even better than the ones from a box. So next time you're craving a chocolate fix, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
