So, I like to suggest using the spoon and scoop method. Grab a spoon and stir the bag of flour lightly, spoon your flour into the measuring cup until it is heaping on top. Use the back of a knife to wipe away any excess flour. Doing this helps make sure you don\u2019t overpack the measuring cup by scooping it straight from the bag and using a knife flat edge helps make it even on the top so you don\u2019t end up with too much flour in these brownies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745572463988\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the best way to cut brownies?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These brownies are rich and thick. Use a sharp knife to cut them. Make sure they have had plenty of time to cool and the ganache is set before you slice them. You can spray the blade of the knife lightly with nonstick cooking spray or run the blade of the knife under hot water to heat it up before slicing through. Wipe the blade clean with each pass through the brownies. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745573715958\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use a boxed brownie mix instead? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Certainly, choose your favorite brand and give it a go. You\u2019ll want to use the directions for a 9\u00d79-inch pan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745573875734\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know when these are finished baking? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The brownies are cooked through when the edges have set, but the center is still soft (but not jiggly.)\u00a0The brownies will firm up further as they cool.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745573929675\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I melt the chocolate chips without a microwave?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The butter and chocolate chips can be melted using the stovetop in place of the microwave. Place the chocolate chips and butter in a large heatproof bowl. Sit the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the water does not come into contact with the base of the bowl, and stir until the chocolate and butter have melted.\u00a0Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool for a few minutes before continuing with the recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745574709127\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can I use instead of chocolate ganache?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In place of the homemade ganache, you can use any chocolate frosting. The texture will be different and not like a cosmic brownie but it will still work.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745573177892\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to store leftovers and can I freeze them?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. These brownies are suitable for freezing.\u00a0Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.\u00a0Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2250\" alt=\"A few Cosmic Brownies with one missing a bite.\" class=\"wp-image-187504 perfmatters-lazy\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-474x711.jpeg 474w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-683x1025.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg\" alt=\"A few Cosmic Brownies with one missing a bite.\" class=\"wp-image-187504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-474x711.jpeg 474w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-683x1025.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Cosmic-Brownies.jpeg\"\/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>butter<\/strong> \u2013 Unsalted butter was used in these brownies, however salted butter could instead be used.

These could be substituted with milk chocolate chips but it will make it sweeter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>brown sugar<\/strong> \u2013 The brown sugar can be substituted with granulated sugar, or a combination of 1\/2 cup brown sugar and 1\/2 cup granulated sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>eggs<\/strong> \u2013 If you have time, allow the eggs to come to room temperature. This will help them mix into the batter much easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vanilla extract<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li><strong>all purpose flour<\/strong> \u2013 you cannot substitute self rising flour in these since no leavening agent is added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>cocoa powder <\/strong>\u2013 It needs to be unsweetened coca powder.
