Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Separate bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wire rack
  • Small cookie cutter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. This step ensures your Cosmic Brownie Bites won't stick and will come out perfectly.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until well combined and smooth.

  3. Add the two large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. This mixture will form the base of your moist brownies.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents and cocoa are evenly distributed for consistent texture and flavor in your Cosmic Brownie Bites.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies. A few streaks of flour are okay.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. These will melt slightly during baking, adding pockets of extra chocolatey richness to your Cosmic Brownie Bites.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). You're looking for that perfect fudgy texture.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, sprinkle generously with rainbow sprinkles.

  9. Once the sprinkles are well adhered, cut the brownies into bite-sized squares or use a small cookie cutter to create fun shapes. Your delightful Cosmic Brownie Bites are now ready to be devoured!
