What You’ll Need To Make Copycat Cosmic Brownies Made With Fresh Milled Flour

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Sugar
Brown Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Eggs
Soft White Wheat Fresh Milled Flour
Cornstarch
Salt
For Ganache Topping:
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Milk Chocolate Chips
Heavy Whipping Cream
Tips For Making The Best Cosmic Brownies
- Bake brownies in a light metal pan. (I use a stainless steel 9×13 pan.) Glass will take longer to bake and may dry your brownies out.
- Don’t over bake your brownies! You want them to be fudgy, not dry.
- If you want clean cuts you can run your knife under hot water and wipe it between each slice.
Can I Use Milk Chocolate Chips For My Ganache?
Yes, you can, but know that milk chocolate chips contain lower cocoa solids so you need to do a different ratio of chocolate chips to heavy whipping cream. I will include both options in the recipe card. I actually prefer using milk chocolate chips for my ganache, but I know that might be too sweet for some.

Copycat Cosmic Brownies Made With Fresh Milled Flour
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease/line a 9×13 metal pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl add flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until combined and set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl add melted butter and cocoa powder and whisk until combined.
- Next add sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time.
- Then using a wooden spoon or spatula mix in the flour mixture. The batter will seem dry and thick. Don't worry the flour will mix in and this is what we want.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 15-17 minutes. These are thin so be careful to not dry them out by overbaking them.
- Cool brownies in the pan on a cooling rack.
- The process will be the same for both the semi-sweet or milk chocolate ganaches. They just have slightly different ratios and note that if you want your ganache to set up more firm use semi-sweet. If you don't mind soft ganache and love the flavor of milk chocolate use the milk chocolate chips.
- Add chocolate chips to a small bowl.
- Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan to 180℉. If you don't have a thermometer heat until it's steaming and just starting to simmer on the edges. DON'T boil.
- Pour hot heavy cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute.
- After 1 minute whisk the mixture together until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, pour ganache over the brownies and use an angled spatula to evenly spread.
- For candy coated chocolate chips you can either add them now or as the ganache sets up more. They will sit higher if you add as it cools.
- Put in the fridge for 1 hour for the ganache to set up.Slice and enjoy!*For the iconic line in the center of each brownie you can run a sharp knife down the center. Don't cut all the way through, just enough to add the line.
Could I substitute with honey or maple syrup? Or how would that work?
I’m sure you could, but you would have to adjust ratios and I haven’t tried that yet.
Made them tonight and they are delicious! What is the recommended way to store these brownies?
Glad you enjoyed them! I usually just leave them in an airtight container on the counter. They don’t last with our family more than 2-3 days lol!
Made them for the first time. They are delicious. There are just 2 of us. Do you think I could freeze them?
Glad you enjoyed them! They should definitely freeze well.
These brownies are amazing! So soft and taste like the real deal!!!
Glad you enjoyed them! <3
These brownies are so out of this world, they might attract some UFOs!
Do you sift the flour?
No
have you tried these in a little smaller pan? i have a 8 x 10 metal pan i would like to use.
I haven’t. They should work just watch the bake time.
they are super dry…what could I add to make them more like a brownie consistency?
