Directions and Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking pan. This ensures those brownies won’t stick!
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, allowing it to become beautifully liquid and fragrant.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in both the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently but thoroughly after each addition. Then, stir in the rich vanilla extract that adds a lovely sweetness.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until they’re well mixed.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Now it’s time for the star of the show: fold in the luscious Biscoff cookie spread, creating a creamy and smooth batter that’s hard to resist.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a delightful base for your brownies.
- Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the batter, ensuring each bite will have a delicious crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs—this is the perfect doneness for fudgy brownies!
- Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a bit before slicing them into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes or Tips
- For an extra touch of indulgence, try drizzling melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving.
- These brownies store well in an airtight container for up to a week, though they’re unlikely to last that long!
- If you want to elevate their flavor even more, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
Cooking Techniques
Mastering the art of brownies comes down to a few key techniques:
- Melting Butter: Melt the butter gently to avoid cooking it, which will help maintain a rich texture in your brownies.
- Mixing: Mix your wet ingredients just enough to combine. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies.
- Baking: Keep a close eye on your brownies toward the end of the baking time; every oven is different, and you want to achieve that just-right, fudgy texture!
