The Great Online (un)Cookie Exchange - Brownies



So simple my kids make them all the time, easy to have the ingredients on hand all the time, and just plain really good brownies.  

THANKS JZ

Brownies
2 eggs
1 stick butter (4 oz)
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate (2 squares)
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp powdered cocoa
4 oz kahlua liquor or 6 oz strong cold coffee
gently heat butter and baker's chocolate on the stovetop
beat eggs
add small amount of butter/chocolate to egg and stir to temper then add the rest then stir
add sugar, flour, vanilla, cocoa, and liquor or coffee - stir to combine
bake in 8X8" glass pan, preheated 350 degree oven ~17 minutes - more or less depending on your preference for chewy vs. more well done brownies


All the other people with the good stuff...

  11. What a great idea- Kahlua in Brownies! Coffee always enhances chocolate's flavor. I had a friend who made Chambord Brownies- awesome. Never got the recipe. Maybe that would work here too.
    Thanks GG and Happy Holidaze! :-) Elysia
