If you’re still undecided on whether to dive into stress eating or sip wine until you forget everything, why not indulge in both? Inauguration Day is upon us, and as we navigate through it, the perfect solution has emerged: boozy brownies! Yes, you read that right.
Meet Jessica Martin, the mastermind behind the blog A Cookie Named Desire. Her recipes are so enticing that you might just want to move in with her and enjoy her culinary creations forever. While she may not have room for all of us, she does have an exquisite recipe for red wine brownies that’s right on time.
Just look at these beauties! Those are tipsy cranberries nestled in decadent chocolate. I must admit, my brownies never turn out this amazing—clearly, I’ve been missing the secret ingredient.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup red wine
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 stick butter (½ cup), plus more for greasing
- 6 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate (I used a mix)
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Jessica reassures us that even novice bakers can tackle this recipe with ease. “I’ve had beginners successfully create these brownies using my instructions,” she told us with a wink. While using a boxed brownie mix might not yield the same divine results, who doesn’t love a little chocolate and wine any day? The simpler, the better!
So pour yourself a glass of wine (or two) and head over to A Cookie Named Desire for the full brownie-making instructions.
