Bourbon Fudge Brownies

Bourbon and vanilla enhance the rich chocolate flavor of these moist brownies. If you don't want to use bourbon, use hot milk in its place.

Yield: 20 servings

Ingredients

• 1/4  cup  bourbon
• 1/4  cup  semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2  cups  all-purpose flour
• 1/2  cup  unsweetened cocoa
• 1  teaspoon  baking powder
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1 1/3  cups  sugar
• 6  tablespoons  butter, softened
• 1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
• 2  large eggs
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Bring bourbon to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat. Add chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture and bourbon mixture to sugar mixture, beating at low speed just until combined.

Spread batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
