Best 4 Brownie Crisp Recipes

BROWNIE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and espresso powder together in a bowl; beat in egg whites. Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is combined. Spread batter as thin as a slice of American cheese onto the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until batter is nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; cut a shallow square pattern into the batter with a sharp knife. Place back into the oven; bake until batter is crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely; break into squares.

BETTER-THAN-THE-BAG BROWNIE CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
• Place butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring between each interval. Stir sugar, vanilla extract, and espresso into the melted chocolate. Set aside.
• Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in chocolate mixture and beat until combined. Mix in the flour mixture until a thick batter forms.
• Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Place another baking sheet on top and smash it flat to ensure the batter is as thin as possible. Peel off plastic wrap and sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before breaking up into pieces.

BROWNIE CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for about 45 seconds and then check; you want it mostly melted with a few small chunks. Stir and continue to microwave in 15-second intervals if necessary.
• Stir the chocolate mixture until relatively smooth, then stir in the coffee. Stir in the sugar, then then the vanilla, and then the egg. Mix well. Add the salt and flour and mix until just smooth.
• Spread the batter on the prepared baking sheet with a rubber spatula. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely.
• Cut the brownie into strips or into shapes with cookie cutters. Devour with ice cream, or serve as bite-size treats.

SHEET-PAN BROWNIE THINS

Steps:

• Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Very generously butter an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet (do not line with parchment).
• Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave or set over a pot of barely simmering water. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour butter over and stir until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition, until batter is thick, shiny, and smooth. Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
• Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
• Bake brownies until firm to the touch and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 15-18 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into 36 pieces and serve.
• Do Ahead
• Brownies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 6 months.
