Time 50m

Yield 16-24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 finely chopped sauteed jalapeno (optional)
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350; prepare 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or butter flavored non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cream butter with mixer; margarine or spreads are not recommended.
  • Add sugar and red pepper to the butter; cream with mixer until fluffy.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla, almond extract, and eggs until just combined; do not overbeat; do not use mixer; overbeating results in brownies that rise too much during baking, and then fall as they cool.
  • If spicier brownies are desired, add jalapenos.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt; adding ingredients separately to butter mixture can result in overbeating.
  • Gently stir the dry ingredients into butter mixture; if desired add chocolate chips to the butter mixture with the dry ingredients; stir until combined.
  • Spread mixture into prepared pan; if desired, evenly spread walnut pieces over the top of the batter.
  • For a 9x9-inch pan, bake on center rack for 35 to 40 minutes; for a 9x13-inch pan, bake on center rack for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares.
