Sheet Cake Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the sugar.
• In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, shortening, water, and cocoa. Stir and heat to boiling.
• Pour boiling mixture over the flour and sugar in the bowl.
• Add the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well using a wooden spoon or high speed on an electric mixer.
• Pour into a well greased cookie sheet (17 1/2 x 11 inch) pan.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until brownies test done in center.
• While brownies bake, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa, and milk. Heat to boiling and stirring constantly.
• Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until frosting is smooth (you may have to whisk it).
• Pour warm frosting over brownies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Let cool and cut into 40 bars.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Stir together and set aside.
• In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Mix with a fork and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the cocoa. Whisk together to combine. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil. When the butter is melted, pour the boiling water in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth, then pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (or rimmed baking sheet) and bake for 20 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Stir together. Dump in the pecans and stir until well combined.
• Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, pour the warm icing over the top. You'll want to avoid doing much spreading, so try to distribute it evenly as you pour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray and top with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each of the short sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
• Remove 1/4 cup of the cookie dough and reserve. Divide the remaining cookie dough into 3 equal portions. With the long sides of the prepared sheet pan positioned horizontally in front of you, visualize the pan divided into 8 even sections: 4 sections in the top row and 4 sections in the bottom row. Press one portion of the cookie dough into the top right section. Press a second portion of the dough into the section diagonally below and to the left of the first. Press the last portion of the dough into the bottom left corner.
• Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions. Divide the batter among the remaining 5 sections (about 1/2 cup batter per section).
• Working from left to right on the top row, swirl 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter into the brownie batter in the top left corner. Press 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the batter in the next section. Roll the reserved cookie dough into balls and arrange on top of each chocolate sandwich cookie and in the large diamond-shaped gaps between the cookies (do not place the balls too close to the edges of the section, or they may spread into the other sections). Swirl the dulce de leche into the batter in the next section and top with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Press the candy-coated chocolates into the cookie dough in the top right section.
• Working from left to right on the bottom row, press the crushed potato chips into the cookie dough in the first section, then arrange the pretzels on top. Press the graham cracker bears into the brownie batter in the next section. Top the next cookie section with alternating rows of cream cheese bits and white chocolate chips. Last, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips on the final section of brownie batter.
• Bake until the cookies are golden and the brownies are set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a rack.
• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pourable, about 15 seconds. Crush the remaining 2 chocolate sandwich cookies. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag.
• Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the swirled peanut-butter brownie section and top with the crushed peanuts. Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the section containing the whole cookies. Swirl the frosting over the candy-coated chocolate candy section and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Top the graham cracker bears with the mini marshmallows and toast with a small kitchen torch (or broil the marshmallows under a low broiler for about 1 minute). Last, sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries over the chocolate chip brownie on the bottom right.
• Lift the finished brownie-cookie bar out of the pan and remove the parchment paper. Slice vertically in 8 pieces and horizontally in 4 pieces to create multi-flavored pieces.

Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
• Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
