Gooey Bittersweet Brownie Shortbread | Melissa Clark | NYT Cooking

[@vicycross6037]

I didn't know I wanted shortbread brownies until today. Wow.

[@Roman888]

The world needs more Melissa Clark content.

[@PatriciaScarpinTK]

Melissa is such a dear, I could watch her bake for hours on end. Love her style.

[@anabeatrizinati9688]

INCREDIBLE! I made them right after the recipe popped up on my recommended and I am making them again not even 2 days later

[@CharlieCabralos]

Would love to see more of Melissa!

[@treasure2behold282]

Brownie and Shortbread, that's like a coupling my two favorite desserts.

[@emma-leefortune8331]

What's so good is the way she ate the brownie shortbread at the end...for me, that's the selling point of this video😋

[@erikapalominodiaz]

she has the best energy and the recipe looks so tasty :)

[@SammiEffinG]

🙈 literally thought she started this video talking about "kinky brownie people" 🙈🤣🤣🤣

[@lindaswphd]

I will cook ANYTHING that has Melissa Clark's signature on it! This looks divine. I can't wait to make it.

[@nidhivaidya6485]

Melissa is so great

[@GrowWildOutdoors]

I adore this woman! More please!!

[@Herberth889]

More Melissa, please!!

[@cheiri18]

I tried these and they are indeed delicious! The best of both worlds mashed into one bite 🥰 thank you for sharing this with us!

[@secretforreddit]

Ooh, these look AMAZING! And I even think I have all the ingredients on hand...

[@Arisaema55]

Cakey Brownies FOREVER!!! I’m not a “gooey anything that’s in a square cake pan” girl.

[@TyTLZacharie]

Seeing this has definitely helped me put into perspective how to do this recipe again. My 1st try wasn’t too bad but it came out uneven in the layers & so thick probably because of my pan. I really enjoyed this though. They honestly were really good & the perfect dessert for me personally.

[@kristihogan6871]

Cakey brownie person here 👋 we exist! 🦄 These look amazing. Definitely my next bake.

[@vistaoalry4883]

A cakey brownie gal here! I love the tenderness of a cakey brownie and it works really well with a frosting as well

[@macaoron]

“Boy do I wish I had a ruler” Should’ve talked to Claire who brings her own ruler!

[@winter2625]

We love Melissa!

[@verdski]

Please add close captioning to your videos. I love these videos, but they are hard to watch without CC. Even just the auto-generated one would be enough. Thank you!

[@TurboBinch]

This ^ we aren't watching the NY Post.

[@sfowler1017]

I see the auto-generated ones, are they still not showing up for you?

[@verdski]

@@sfowler1017 must be a recent addition, I'm pleased to say! Otherwise I assume 94 ppl would have corrected me instead of like my comment 😂. Thanks for the heads up on the availability! ❤️

[@shelly6123]

You can turn that on Facebook. If you look on the screen you’ll see in the right hand corner it says cc. That should be able to turn it on for you

[@verdski]

@@shelly6123 I'm not interested in Facebook. :) I'm watching videos on KZbin. It's been fixed. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Taliaris]

I need to make this asap! I may add some orange zest to my shortbread!

[@cresabellaaa]

melissa clark is my hero

[@emilyjortner4252]

cakey brownie person here. I like the buttermilk ones with cooked frosting. my high school cafeteria used to have them in the early 90s and I would just leave class and go get one. it's really a Texas sheet cake; tender, but also rich. I also love a fudgey brownie, but the cakey ones I just get a craving for and have to make sometimes.

[@skanktalk7873]

she's perfect new york city. love melissa

[@gloriaturetta8177]

I've missed Melissa Clark in the NYT kitchen! Btw, THESE LOOK SUBLIME. Definitely gonna give them a go and make them for my mother's birthday.

[@fontyfole]

Queen! Looks like such a simple but delicious recipe!

[@Quode001]

My mother is a cakey brownie person, if she eats a fudgy brownie she says it's raw 😂

[@watchreport]

Well, there is a misconception about brownies, or I guess how some think they should be baked. Some undercook the brownie, thinking that’s how you get them fudge like and chewy and really it’s more about the ingredients and how you put them together. I like a more chewy brownie with a slight fudge than say all fudgy and would never make cake brownies as that’s just cake.

[@miacalderon9067]

cakey brownie person here!!! my whole family is

[@missy_elephant1999]

If I was Melissa’s daughter, I would permanently be in the kitchen, sneaking goodies 🤤

[@TheatreGirl89]

ME TOO

[@scorpleeon]

Omg help several of these into my waiting mouth. If you want cakey brownies make a cake, but gimme gooey.

[@tubz981mcdougall5]

I'm a cake brownie person. My brother makes this, but with a layer of caramel through the middle, it's called a millionaires brownie. Try adding orange flavouring to the base and zest to the brownie. Absolutely delicious 😋

[@atuljoshi1990]

i wonder if you could melt marshmallows on top and broil it.

[@SpaceBandit666]

ive had a brookie which is incredible, now i have to try this!

[@shani_stitches]

I am a cakey brownie person. Love ‘em!

[@carolbethhaynes7453]

This recipe is amazing!!!

[@TheNinnyfee]

I once put cookie pieces into brownies, it was a big hit. I might do that with the shortbread as well, even though it's also brilliant as a bottom layer. Or both. :)

[@lindacsmith13]

I love your videos but this recipe makes you the ultimate food goddess.

[@madamecoralgarden]

It looks sooooo yummy!!!

[@Quincyq15]

We need more NYT food videos

I love a cakey brownie but honestly all brownies are delicious!

[@rosarobles8588]

I love Melissa

[@MmeVerdurin]

Melissa Clark is so dorky. It’s adorable

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Ok, after your tasting you have definitely conquered me. I will try this recipe because there is nothing truer than the reactions of when you eat the first bite. Cheers, Domenico.

[@iedwards]

More Melissa!

[@kristaerin6324]

Have you tried the shortbread with browned butter (that you let firm back up again some)?

[@theperson5205]

you can do that???

[@kristaerin6324]

@@theperson5205 sure - I haven't done it with this recipe, but I have done it with others (cookies). Use an ice bath to get it back to where you want! I might try it with this recipe over the weekend! :)

[@theperson5205]

@@kristaerin6324 ooh! that’s genius. please update me if you ever try it out :)

[@kristaerin6324]

will do - I got the ice bath idea from Claire Saffitz - before that, I just firmed it back up in the fridge all the way and then nuked it for a few seconds to soften. The ice bath is way better.

[@theperson5205]

@@kristaerin6324 i love Claire Saffitz - I’ve made her brownies and the upside down orange cake a few times, and I’m planning to make the rhubarb cake one as soon as I get rhubarb haha

[@abreshmina2641]

This recipe looks amazinggg

[@VarongTangkitphithakphon]

More Melissa Clark pleaseeeee

[@Polarbear2110]

I believe I have just become a cakey brownie person! Yummy!

[@julieponce3345]

Melissa, I enjoy your recipes. I've been reading and trying them from the Chgo Tribune. Thank you. How much can you cut back on the sugar making the brownies so they are not that sweet but still keeping them gooey?

[@cypherfunc]

I prefer cakey brownies because fudgy brownies can easily get too rich, and I'd rather have a larger brownie. That said, they should still be super moist and filled with something (chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter, espresso, whatever!) Oh, also cakey brownies are better at soaking up ice cream. :)

[@jenross4150]

I love cakey brownies!

[@kk-fl4pb]

I wonder if you divided the recipe by a third, you could use a standard 9 by 5 loaf pan to bake this?

[@johnnytsunami420]

Looks amaaazing 🤤

Add these to her ice cream recipe yumm

[@cookiea1728]

So yummy

[@Lucy-wc5vf]

Someone in middle School came in with the cakeiest brownie and everyone loved it in my class. For a long time I thought liking fudgy brownies was the minority

[@cranberryjuice960]

cakey brownie is literally just chocolate cake

[@julianavillanueva7385]

Yummy

[@Taliaris]

Why doesn't your website allow to print the recipe? :(

[@avageorgestewart7623]

I don't even like chocolate like that but this looks amazing and of course I already have a tweak to go with it.

[@oliviahurley]

I want a video of how to wrangle your parchment paper into that type of militant uniformity. My attempts look nothing like that. :)

[@omghello9389]

Butter de pan, place de parchment paper really pushing on the side, butter again on top

[@ReynoldsWrap11]

i'm a proud cakey brownie person

[@jiyoon777]

I have a question! Why did you bake the Shortbread first and then baked brownie? Is there any reason that I shouldn't bake them at the same time? I am just wondering as a self taught homemaker 🙂

[@georgie919]

We need Melissa to cook with Molly, Carla and Sohla

[@aigoochamnaa]

I have never debated whether i want a shortbread or a brownie... 🤷🏻‍♀️ is this a common query?

[@toyagarcia8243]

Hand raised here! I'm a cake brownie person. When I bake brownies for others, I'm forced to make them fudgy.

[@TheMrgreylee]

I am a brownie-y brownie person. but I have to choose cakey vs. fudgy. I would 100% be a cakey brownie

[@DanielApathy]

God this is amazing

[@enthusedtosing9655]

Great to see Bernadette diversifying into baking

You need a layer of raspberry jam in between the shortbread and the brownie.

I am a cake-y brownie person. I actually prefer blondies, dense - but I'm not in to really fudgy, gooey brownies.

[@theperson5205]

i mean cakey brownies aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be. they just don’t hit the spot like fudgy or chewy brownies.

[@nicolemyers7340]

I have found my queen.

[@sherriw7673]

A 'cakey brownie' isn't a brownie...it's cake imo🤣 Shortbread = delicious....A fudgy - brownie = epic.

[@jbbya6040]

Sensitive teeth here, so any brownie tastes amazing, but cakey ones cause me less pain. Truth be told, I'd take a crispy brownie cookie over either.

[@deanjackson625]

I like fudge brownies and no nuts in them.

I think your mixer needs adjustment. The paddle is bumping against the side of the bowl.
