Brownie Recipes
Brownies are a fun family dessert that most kids and adults love. They're usually pretty good when you make them from the box- the pour in brownie mix, add water, stir, and bake recipes. But, they're even better when you know that you made them from scratch.
Below are a few of my favorite brownie recipes. They're easy, quick, and yummy!
Chocolate- Cream Cheese Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1- 6 oz package of semisweet chocolate pieces (1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all- purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1- 3 oz package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 beaten egg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and lightly flower an 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Melt the chocolate and butter, and let cool.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a mixer, beat 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, gradually adding 3/4 cup of sugar. Continue to beat the eggs until thick and a lemon color.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mix; beat until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate and nuts.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar until fluffy. Stir in the remaining beaten egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Spread half of the chocolate mixture into the pan. Pour the cream cheese mix on top of the chocolate. Then pour the rest of the chocolate mixture on top.
You can swirl layers to marble if desired.
Bake at 350F in oven for about 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
