Chef’s Market Brookie - a cookie and brownie mash-up
Chef’s Market Brownie
Make a day ahead for ease of cutting
8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter
5 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp almond extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp King Arthur Espresso Powder
3 3/4 cups sugar
1 2/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
· Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and grease the bottom and sides with butter.
· Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until combined. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature.
· Beat eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, espresso powder and sugar on low with an electric mixer for one minute. Scrape sides and continue beating for 9 minutes on medium high. Scrape the bowl and add room temperature chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low, and slowly add flour until incorporated.
· Spread batter evenly into baking pan.
· Bake 16 minutes and rotate pan halfway. Cover pan loosely with foil, then bake for 16 additional minutes. Brownies edges will be pulling away from the pan’s edges and the top should have cracks. Do not over bake.
· Cool brownie to room temperature and remove from pan. Top with chocolate chip cookie dough (recipe below).
