Liqueur Brownies

Time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup your favorite liqueur
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup sifted flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 7 ounces chocolate (yes, more)

Directions

• 1 Preheat oven to 325.
• 2 In a double boiler with hot but not boiling water, melt 7 oz chocolate. You can let the chocolate hang out in the pan while you take care of the rest of the ingredients.
• 3 Cream the butter until it is white and smooth, 3-5 minutes.
• 4 Add the sugar and beat for 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
• 5 At this point the chocolate will be melted. Add the liquer, whisk it in, and let it simmer.
• 6 Add the eggs one at a time, beating continuously. Add the vanilla and salt. Beat 1 minute or until light in color and frothy.
• 7 Add the chocolate mixture, beat until combined.
• 8 Fold in the flour. Do not overmix!
• 9 Pour into a greased 7x9 pan and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes (or less if you like gooey, fudgy brownies).
• 10 When the brownies are done, put the rest of the chocolate on the top and let it melt. Smooth it over the top and refrigerate.
