Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Use 30-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting.
- Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour in the cold brew coffee and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and ensuring the corners are filled.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, which will take approximately 1-2 hours.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut into 16 even squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: The flavor of your brownies will greatly depend on the quality of your cocoa powder and cold brew coffee. Opt for high-quality brands to enhance the taste.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher brownies, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your brownies a few minutes before the suggested baking time. They should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your brownies by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of caramel for an extra special touch!
- Storage Tips: Keep your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for extended freshness.
