 Item 2: Tiger Brownie Update.

 

I wanted to use up the frozen cookie bar dough from last week. Frozen cookie dough requires a longer baking time so I have no idea why I decreased the baking time to 25 minutes (vs. 27 minutes). As a result, the Tiger Brownies were even more fudgey. Maybe too fudgey.

I also made some regular brownies with the left over brownie mixture (remember: Tiger Brownie = 1/2 cookie + 1/2 Brownie). They were not really regular brownies because I added in some Nescafe Hazelnut Coffee stuff. I also just shoved it into the oven and took it out ... perhaps 20 minutes later... 

I forgot to look at the clock. Oops. My bad.

These Coffee Hazelnut Brownies, aka Mocha Brownies, were really fudgey and I actually preferred my first brownie batch  from last time more, which were cakey and fudgey. So, next time I will....

• - look at the clock,
• - bake them longer 
• - and probably like them more.
