BITTERSWEET BROWNIE SHORTBREAD



Bittersweet Brownie Shortbread image

These chewy bar cookies combine two all-time favorites: crumbly, buttery shortbread and bittersweet brownies. Nut lovers can mix almonds, pecans or walnuts into the brownie batter, which gives the bars a delightful crunch. But those who prefer savoring the smooth, gooey centers of their brownies can easily leave them out. In any case, be sure not to overbake the brownies. As soon as the top sets, they're done.

Time 1h30m

Yield 32 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups/340 grams cold unsalted butter (3 sticks), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus more for greasing the pan
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 1/4 sticks)
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/4 cups/265 grams light brown sugar
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon/45 grams cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup/90 grams slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and line with parchment paper so that there is a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
  • Prepare the shortbread: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or beaters, mix together flour, sugar and salt. Beat in butter on low speed until dough just comes together but is still a little crumbly. (Or pulse together ingredients in a food processor.)
  • Press dough into prepared pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • As shortbread bakes, prepare the brownie: Place butter and chocolate in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until smooth. (Alternatively, place bowl over a pot of simmering water, and heat chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth and melted.) Whisk in sugars and cocoa powder until smooth, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and sea salt. Whisk into chocolate mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in nuts, if using. Spread mixture onto the warm shortbread base. Sprinkle lightly but evenly with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake until the top is set, the center is soft, and the edges start pulling away from the pan, 23 to 28 minutes. (A toothpick inserted into the center will come out gooey.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars before serving.

EASY GOOEY BROWNIES

Know the secret to gooey brownies? Don't overcook them, and dot through caramel or chocolates filled with liquid caramel or ganache to help add moisture

Provided by Katie Hiscock

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

150g butter
75g light soft brown sugar
150g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
1 tbsp golden syrup
3 eggs
125g golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
3 tbsp cocoa powder, plus more to dust
4-6 tbsp dulce de leche, caramel or chocolate hazelnut spread

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment. Melt together the butter, brown sugar, chocolate and golden syrup gently on a low heat until it is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs and caster sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy - this will take a few minutes and is worth doing properly. Add the vanilla extract, then sift over the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and add the chocolate mixture. Fold everything together quickly and scoop half of the mixture into the tin. Dot over scoops of caramel or chocolate hazelnut spread and then scoop the rest of the brownie mixture over the top. Add more scoops of caramel or chocolate spread, if you like, and bake for 30 mins. The top of the mixture should now be set and slightly cracked looking, but the mixture underneath will still have a slight wobble.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust the tops with cocoa or icing sugar, if you like, or if serving as a dessert drizzle with more caramel. Will keep for 3 days in an airtight container.

Time 35m

Yield 12 brownies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (omit if you don't want the crunchy crust)
1 cup semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
  • Melt the butter and lightly grease a pan of your liking (I used an 8x8 because I like a thicker brownie).
  • In a large bowl; combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another large bowl; combine the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Once combined beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each until thoroughly blended.
  • Gradually add in the flour mixture to the egg/sugar mixture.
  • Toss the chocolate chips in a little flour. (The flour will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.).
  • Mix the chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. (The brownies are done if you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean.
  • (ALSO, THE BATTER IS GOING TO RISE. PLEASE, DO NOT BE ALARMED! ONCE IT SINKS, WHICH TAKES ALL OF 10 MINUTES, I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY MIGHT BE THE BEST BROWNIES YOU'VE EVER TASTED.).
