While these are absolutely delicious, I'd have a hard time calling these brownies. It's more akin to texas sheet cake minus the marshmallows then brownies. Very dense, spongey texture for the cake. However, the flavors are amazing, and the cognac in the frosting is divine!

I just made these last night and was underwhelmed. I had hoped the coffee flavor would be subtler but alas, it was too strong for my liking (I do enjoy a strong espresso...I guess just not in my brownies!). Also the brownies were not particularly fudgy or moist, despite the use of 4 eggs! ( I halved the recipe and baked in a 9x9). I called it a chocolate coffee cake and brought it into work. My colleagues enjoyed them probably because they did not know they were brownies and also because their hopes weren't as high as mine for something that graced the cover of a cook book! I did sprinkle the brownies with some sea salt which I found really enhanced the chocolate flavor. Will not be making these again unfortunately :(

Can't wait to try! Would appreciate having the weights of the dark brown and superfine sugar.

Congratulations Chef June! ...such a good story, including the photo print from James Ransom and food52. The recipe sounds wonderful - lots of good things, layerings of flavor (repetition of chocolate and espresso). Have you ever tried seasoning other than vanilla? If yes, results?

Eric: l would still go with 8 eggs. Brownies are very flexible.
Thanks all of you for your congratulations! It's so much fun to be the "cover girl." And thanks to James Ransom, for his gorgeous photo of my brownies -- and to the Food52 team for sending me a print ready for framing. :D

Whoa, yes! How did I miss a dessert recipe with Cognac on the ingredient list - and in the frosting, no less? What a wonderful back-story, too. I am so pleased, ChefJune, that these beauties will be gracing the cover of our Baking cookbook. ;o)
