Bossk Brownies

Jase is always asking to make the recipes from the star wars cookbook.  We tried the brownies last weekend and honestly, they were very good.  I think this would be my "go to" for brownies from scratch.  I followed the recipe exactly except I did need to bake a few minutes longer.

Bossk Brownies
  • 2/3 c. all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. cocoa powder (used dark cocoa powder, went a little "light" on the measure)
  • 1/2 c. butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 and butter 8 in. square pan. Stir flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together. Mix butter and both sugars until well blended and creamy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla extract. On low, add flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chips. Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Bake about 25 minutes.

Blueberry Cornbread


I made the blueberry cornbread from the food network magazine this weekend and it came out really well. I used frozen blueberries and they worked well.

27. Vanilla Whisk 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat 1 stick softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar with a mixer until fluffy; beat in 2 eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, then 3/4 cup milk. Beat in the dry ingredients. Bake 55 to 65 minutes.

34. Blueberry-Corn Make Vanilla Bread (No. 27), replacing 1/2 cup flour with fine yellow cornmeal. Add the zest of 1 lemon to the wet ingredients. Add 1 1/4 cups blueberries tossed with 1 tablespoon flour to the batter.
