A Special Sort of Brownies

STAR WARS BROWNIES! What kind of brownies did you think I was talking about? (lol)

So last year I found this "Star Wars Cookbook" that I just had to have. It's full of recipes like "Wookie Cookies," "Hoth Chocolate," and "Boba Fett-uccine." My boyfriend and I both being lovers of food and Star Wars, I decide to Amazon that stuff right then and there to try some of the recipes. Now I must confess that I have only tried one thing from the cookbook and it's (you guessed it) the brownies. Their proper name is Bossk Brownies. Everyone I've served them to has really enjoyed them (my siblings say that they taste "salty" but they are all just being mean because it's me), so I thought I'd share the recipes with you. All ownership goes to whoever wrote the cookbook.

Ingredients


Butter for greasing baking dish
2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (I only use 1/4 teaspoon)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (or microwaved until half-melted, but NOT boiling)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs
1 teaspooon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate or butterscotch chips (or peanut butter, if you wish)

How to Make 'Em


1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
2) Put the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed. (I like to use a whisk to make sure everything is nice and mixed. Also, you might want to use a spoon or something to break up the little lumps of baking powder.) Set aside.
3) Put the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another bowl and mix until creamy. You can use either a electric mixer or a wooden spoon. Either works well. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture a little at a time until blended. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
4) Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the wooden spoon.
5) Bake it. Bake it good. (About 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.)
6) Using pot holders (unless you're impervious to burning), take out the dish and let cool completely before cutting into pieces.
7) Enjoy!

I think this summer, if I don't get a second job, I'll try some of the other recipes and see how they turn out. For now, the Force is strong with these brownies.

Until next time!
