Brenda Brownies
I remember at the height of our endurance marathon training (2015) Brenda would bake these brownies at least once per month. She’d eat the whole pan. NO LIE.
I’m still trying to perfect these brownies. The true test is to see if the brownies taste better over time, just like Brenda’s. She swears that day 4 is the best day to consume these brownies. I just can’t figure out how to keep these brownies around for that long…
Brenda Brownies
To your favorite mixing bowl add:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
Stir well, then cream in:
1 cup butter, softened
Next add:
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, mixing well after each
Finally, stirring until just incorporated, add:
2 cups flour
Set oven to 350F. Spoon about half the batter into a greased 13x9 pan, sprinkle with:
3/4 cup miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Spoon and smooth the remaining batter evenly over the top.
Bake for 22-27 minutes. Serve cooled.
Brenda’s Tips:
Stirring the cocoa into the sugar allows the granules to eliminate any lumps of cocoa, enhancing the texture of the finished brownies
If baking at sea level, reduce the flour to 1 1/2 cups
Recommended to use a metal pan. Using glass will cause the brownies to cook differently
These brownies are Brenda’s favorite dessert that she makes
