Brownies Cockaigne

As you may or may not know, I have been on a mission to find the best brownie recipe.  Well, I believe my search has officially ended now that I found these babies.  They are awesome.  Chewy and soft and delicious….in fact, they are even soft and chewy and delicious when frozen in the freezer!  How crazy is that?!  They are also made in one pot…so easy to make and easy to clean up.  Doesn’t get much better than that.

I made these brownies for the Super Bowl and used football cookie cutters to have a themed dessert.  But, you could just as easily make them into regular brownie bars or use a heart-shaped cookie cutter for aValentines Day themed treat (or really any cookie cutter that your heart desires).

This recipe called for a 9×13 pan which I used…as a result it was a relatively thin brownie, perfect for cutting out shapes with a cookie cutter.  If you prefer a thicker brownie bar, I would recommend using an 8×8 pan, which I plan on trying next…just be careful to watch the baking time in the oven as it may change slightly with a different size pan.
