Flour Bakery Brownies

It has been super hot in Los Angeles.
And the library's air conditioning is out.
And I sit in an office with 1970's carpet-like material on the walls (noise reduction) that turns our little place into a greenhouse or oven.

I think I should make ice cream, but I made brownies instead. Hey, brownies may not cool you down, but they are just cool.

I love the Flour Bakery cookbook...and am so excited to hear smart-pants Joanne Chang is working on book two already!

These are definitely bakery brownies. Those ones you point at in the glass case and sneak into the movie theater or share with a friend. Or secretly eat them and don't tell your friend. I always love a thin crispy top and rich, moist brownie.

Of course, these would totally cool you down with a big scoop of ice cream. Hum, next time...

    lol "don't tell your friend" With the look of these brownies I don't think I'll be telling anyone and having it all to myself as well!

    It is really cold in Australia now but the thought of brownie and icecream has got me craving!

    Darn, I just returned Flour to the library without trying these! I guess I'll have to get it back because these look delicious. Wow, she is a smarty-pants!

    Wow, I don't know if those would be able to cool me down after a day in the greenhouse you had. The scoop of ice cream, however; bring it on.

    These look delicious! Looks like I'll have to try this recipe out as well! I might throw in some peanuts and peanut butter to change it up a bit.
    Thanks for sharing!
