Today, we have picked a classic brownie recipe that will make your kids enjoy the time of baking and learn techniques from mixing batter to maintain the oven temperature. 

Ingredients For A Classic Style Christmas Brownie:

Things you will need to make a smooth brownie batter include:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large size whole eggs
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Our special twist on Christmas celebrations:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 large whole egg
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• Red or green food color
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 
• Sprinkles of your choice.

Follow The Instructions To Bake Brownies:

Step 1: Turn on your oven to preheat:

• Set up the temperature to 350 F (175 C) to preheat the oven.
• Take out the baking pan (9×13″), or you can also take a parchment paper, and give it a nice grease.

Step 2: Start preparing the brownie batter:

• Take a large mixing bowl and add melted butter with sugar. 
• Combine the butter and sugar mixture with eggs (add 1 egg at a time and give a nice mix), and mix everything together. 
• Now, add vanilla extract. 
• Here, you will need a separate bowl to combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
• Now, carefully add these dry ingredients to the wet ingredients (butter, sugar, and egg mixture), and combine everything to become a smooth batter.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips and get a nice fold into the batter.

Step 3: Our special twist on Christmas brownies:

• Take a separate mixing bowl, and beat cream cheese until it gets softened and smooth in texture.
• Gradually add the egg, sugar, and peppermint extract and combine all of them well with the help of an electric beater or whisker. 
• Now, take two separate bowls and divide the cream cheese mixture into each bowl equally. 
• Add green food color to one part and red food color to the other, making a more festive Christmas effect.

Step 4: Step ahead to the assembly part:

• Pour the brownie batter (half) into the prepared parchment sheet/baking pan.
• Put a spoonful of the green and red cream cheese mixture on top.
• With the help of a knife, create a swirl design, and blend the cream cheese mixture with the brownie batter.
• Pour the other half of the brownie batter into the top of the swirled mixture.
• Repeat the process of swirl pattern with the other half of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5: It’s time to bake:

• As you already set up the oven to preheat, now put the baking pan inside and bake it for around 25 to 30 minutes. 
• Or check with a toothpick and put the toothpick inside the baked brownie; if it comes out clean, the brownie is ready; if not, then bake it for an extra 5 minutes. 
• Once the brownies are ready completely, give them some time to cool down on a rack before cutting. Then, cut them into squares. 

Tips to Add Extra Festive Charm:

• Colorful celebration toppings: You can decorate your holiday celebration cupcakes with crushed festive sprinkles, candy canes, or powdered sugar to add a festive touch.

• Peppermint extract: It is very easy to make a peppermint extract drizzle by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract together to create a syrup that adds an extra touch of flavor as well as a visual appeal.

• Serve with vanilla ice cream: You can’t go wrong when pairing warm Christmas brownies with vanilla or peppermint ice cream during the holidays.
