What You’ll Need

• 1 cup unsalted butter: melted and all kinds of delicious.
• 1 cup sugar: the sweet backbone of every dessert.
• 1 cup brown sugar: packed tightly for that rich flavor.
• 4 large eggs: they help bring everything together. Don’t skip these!
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: because every sweet treat deserves a bit of vanilla.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour: the foundation of your batter. Just good old flour.
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: oh, the chocolatey goodness!
• ½ teaspoon baking powder: helps them rise just a bit.
• ½ teaspoon salt: for balance… it’s essential!
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips: these are for that extra chocolate punch.
• ½ cup rainbow sprinkles: for that fun finish!

Easy How-To

Getting Started

Alright, first things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13 inch baking pan and either grease it up or line it with parchment paper. This part’s quick, but super vital to prevent anything from sticking—trust me!

Good to Know

• If you’ve got leftover brownies (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
• Feeling fancy? Throw in some nuts or extra chocolate bits to the mix for a little twist.

Serving Ideas

• Serve these brownies warm, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side—heaven!

Top Tricks

• For a gorgeous finish, spread the frosting over the brownies while they’re still warm. Toppings stick better this way!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Totally! You can mix it up with dark chocolate or even white chocolate if that’s more your vibe. Just keep an eye on sweetness—some chocolates are sweeter than others.

How do I store leftovers?

Just pop those brownies in an airtight container at room temperature and they’ll be good for a few days. Or, if you wanna keep them longer, the fridge works too!

Can I freeze these brownies?

Yep! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and toss them in an airtight container. They’ll last up to three months—though I doubt they’ll last that long!

What substitutions can I make for eggs?

If you’re looking to swap out eggs, things like applesauce or yogurt can do the trick. Just-just keep in mind that textures might change a bit, so it might be a fun experiment!

How can I tell when the brownies are done?

Great question! Just poke a toothpick in the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, then you’re golden! No dry brownies here!

Conclusion

These Cosmic Brownies really hit the spot every time, don’t they? Chocolatey, delightful, and just a bit of nostalgia wrapped up in every bite. Whether for a special occasion or a little self-care treat, I promise they’ll bring smiles all around—if they last that long, which is usually the real challenge!
