HIDDEN SECRET BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Line it with a piece of parchment overhanging the edges (this will help in removing the brownies from the pan) and spray again.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the melted chocolate. Add the vanilla extract, beets and walnuts and mix. Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Add half of the flour to the batter and mix just until combined. Mix in the remaining flour; do not over mix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it to even out the surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely.
• Using the paper, lift the brownies from the pan. Remove the paper, and then cut the brownies into 9 squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

BROWNIEDOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Do not follow the instructions on the brownie mix box. Replace with all the ingredients (except the turbinado sugar) and measurements instead.
• 2. You only really need to mix the batter with a spoon. It quickly comes together into a soft dough.
• 3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a parchment paper lined cookie tray (if possible) or if not, a greased cookie tray.
• 4. Flatten with the bottom of a glass.
• 5. Instead of rolling the dough around in a bowl of sugar, I just covered each cookie generously with the large-crystal turbinado sugar. The large crystal make it more crunchy and a nice contrast to the cookie that results.
• 6. Cook for about 8 -10 minutes. I have a convection oven and they are done exactly at 8 minutes.
• 7. These must cool for a bit before trying to remove them from the tray to cool further on a rack. The puffiness will settle down but the cream of tartar makes these a wonderful texture. Enjoy.

COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine butter and chocolate in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt chocolate, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in white sugar. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in flour until batter is smooth and pour brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Cream butter and brown sugar together in a bowl. Stir in flour, salt, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until dough reaches cookie dough consistency. Spread cookie dough on top of cooled brownies.
