Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until completely liquid. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the crushed gingerbread, cocoa powder, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Gradually pour the cooled melted butter into the egg and sugar mixture, mixing continuously until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients (gingerbread, cocoa powder, baking powder, and flour mixture) until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not overbake if you want fudgy brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares or use a gingerbread-shaped cookie cutter for a fun, festive touch.
Serve your Dark Chocolate Gingerbread Men Brownies as a delightful holiday treat. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a hot cup of cocoa!
Tips:
- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
- Sift together the dry ingredients to avoid lumps in your batter.
- Use high-quality dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients; this will keep your brownies tender.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean and neat slices.
With the perfect blend of dark chocolate and gingerbread spices, these brownies are sure to be a hit. By following these tips and the straightforward recipe, you can create a delightful dessert that will impress your friends and family. Enjoy these brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
