Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- Optional: Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the bittersweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to incorporate.
Stir in the Grand Marnier until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into squares and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your Easy Grand Marnier Brownies!
