How to make Bittersweet Brownie Shortbread


These chewy bar treats consolidate two untouched top picks: brittle, rich shortbread and self-contradicting brownies.





 Nut sweethearts can blend almonds, walnuts or pecans into the brownie player, which gives the bars a wonderful crunch.

 In any case, the individuals who favor appreciating the smooth, gooey focuses of their brownies can undoubtedly forget about them. Regardless, be certain not to overbake the brownies. 

When the top sets, they're finished.


INGREDIENTS 


FOR THE SHORTBREAD:

  • 1 ½ cups/340 grams cold unsalted butter (3 sticks), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt

FOR THE BROWNIE:

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 1/4 sticks)
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ¼ cups/265 grams light brown sugar
  • 1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon/45 grams cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup/90 grams slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  •  Flaky sea salt



PREPARATION 


Step 1

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and line with parchment paper so that there is a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
  2. Step 2
  3. Prepare the shortbread: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or beaters, mix together flour, sugar and salt. Beat in butter on low speed until dough just comes together but is still a little crumbly. (Or pulse together ingredients in a food processor.)
  4. Step 3
  5. Press dough into prepared pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  6. Step 4
  7. As shortbread bakes, prepare the brownie: Place butter and chocolate in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until smooth. (Alternatively, place bowl over a pot of simmering water, and heat chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth and melted.) Whisk in sugars and cocoa powder until smooth, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
  8. Step 5
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and sea salt. Whisk into chocolate mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in nuts, if using. Spread mixture onto the warm shortbread base. Sprinkle lightly but evenly with flaky sea salt.
  10. Step 6
  11. Bake until the top is set, the center is soft, and the edges start pulling away from the pan, 23 to 28 minutes. (A toothpick inserted into the center will come out gooey.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars before serving

This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses.

As the name suggests, it’s a triangular or boomerang-shaped steak cut from the tip of the sirloin, blessed with a robust beefy flavor.
