Copycat recipes are some of my favourite kinds. You get to play around in your kitchen trying to get that dish to taste *just* right, and once you do, well, there’s a certain feeling of accomplishment that will have you strutting around like a superhero for a little while. I really thought copycat recipes couldn’t get any better. And then I added chocolate into the mix.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin tin, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2.) In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter on medium speed. Add cocoa powder and mix well. Add sugar, egg and vanilla and continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add the flour and mix just until the flour has been completely incorporated into the mix.
3.) Using your fingers or two spoons, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin tin.
4.) Place in the oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the brownies are fully set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not over-bake, as the brownies will turn out quite hard!
5.) Serve and enjoy!
