Question

What is a good brownie recipe

Answer 1

A really good recipe me and my friends make while having a girls night are brownies with oreos and chocolate chip cookie dough

Step-by-step explanation:

Ingredients

For the Brownie layer:

10 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 1/4 cups white sugar

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup flour

For the Oreo layer:

1 package of Oreo regular stuffed or double stuffed

For the Cookie Dough layer:

1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temp

1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

For the Brownie layer:

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat. Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined. Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.

For the Cookie Dough layer:

Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the egg and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.

Assembly:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan with tin foil and then spray the tin foil with a layer of baking spray.

Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom of the brownies.

Layer as many oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough. No need to overlap. One single layer will do.

Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer and make sure it's evenly layers on top.

Bake for 30-40 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife comes out clean, let the brownies rest for at least 2 hours before serving. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more. Slice and serve.

Answer 2

Butter – use unsalted butter so you can control how much salt goes in your brownies
Sugar – granulated white sugar is fine.
Flour – good all-purpose flour.
Cocoa powder – I used Dutch processed cocoa powder.
Salt – to bring all the flavors together.
Baking powder – this helps lift the brownies, creating a cake-like texture.
Espresso powder – to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Eggs – eggs act as an emulsifier and make the batter smoother, plus adds volume and texture.
Chocolate Chips – use a good quality dark chocolate chips.
