Hazelnut Brownies
Hazelnut Brownies October 29th, 2008 | Category: Brownies, Chocolate Here’s the second recipe I developed for BRAVACASA: Hazelnut Brownies. These brownies fall into the “fudgy” category, with a moist and intensely chocolaty interior. It is almost as if you’re biting into a bar of dark chocolate with hazelnuts. Doesn’t it sound good? And wait (if…
Brownie-Brown Sugar Parfait
When I lived in San Francisco, the baking community was a very friendly group and we all mingled easily. One of the people who I particularly admired and liked was Emily Luchetti, who was also a pastry chef and cookbook author. Her desserts were known for their stunning simplicity, which highlighted bold flavors as well…
Passover Brownies
Passover brownies are almost always disappointing. Not these. How could they be with matzo meal for Pesach, bittersweet chocolate, sugar, butter, eggs, brandy, and nuts. They’re slightly crumbly outside and splendiferously fudgy inside. Adapted from Orly Ziv | Cook in Israel | Orly Ziv, 2013 Unlike most disappointingly dry and bland Passover brownies, these are ever so slightly…
Classic Brownies
People, I’m getting as predictable as a Cathy cartoon. Take out your calendars, tick 28 days from now, and inevitably, this page will be topped with yet another chocolate-supporting confection. All month long, I look at this dark food of the gods, daily, I submit to a bittersweet bite, yet rarely do I desire to…
Brownies
This image courtesy of Joseph DeLeo One of the simplest, tastiest, and most popular of recipes – it is the relatively high sugar content that gives brownies their delicious and characteristic crust. Do buy a chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa solids for real flavor. Makes16 OccasionCocktail Party, game day Recipe Coursedessert, snack Dietary…
Peppermint Patty Brownies
Wynants 2014-12-26T14:28:54-05:00 Is there any secret or “trick” to this recipe? It makes sense to use an eight inch square pan (rather than a larger size pan) so that the brownies are thicker to accommodate the mint patties. However, I tried using my favorite, Baker’s Edge multi-corner brownie pan, and the recipe did not work…
Moosewood Fudge Brownies Recipe
It has been a while since I’ve written up any sweets, so I turned to my cookbook collection for a bit of inspiration. I thought it might be a day for a batch of cookies, but instead I ended up focusing on a classic fudge brownie recipe from Mollie Katzen’s Moosewood Cookbook. These fudge brownies…

Dark Chocolate Bourbon Crack Cookies
Adapted from Ready for Dessert by David Lebovitz. For a cherry version, we posted another adaptation previously here. We will often freeze the chocolate dough balls after they’ve been coated with the regular sugar, and when ready to use, thaw for about 30 minutes, coat in confectioners sugar and bake. The dough can be refrigerated…
Seaweed Cookies, Or Petites Galettes Au Fleur De Sel Aux Algues
Last week, I was making my weekly ice cream deliveries to the vendors at my local market, which was especially necessary since my freezer was super jam-packed and begging for relief. (Which you may have seen when I inadvertently bared-all in my kitchen slide show.) When I stopped by to drop off a pint to…
Lemonade Cookies
It’s like a magic trick to pull a can of lemonade out of the freezer and say to the kids, “Do you think we can make this lemonade into cookies?” If you want to make the cookie dough ahead of time, it can be refrigerated for several days if you seal it in two layers…
