Brownie Lollipops

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla using an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or place in the freezer for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Spread the icing sugar on a plate. Set aside.

5. 5

   With your hands, shape 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of the dough into a ball and coat with icing sugar, shaking to remove any excess sugar. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining dough.

6. 6

   Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

7. 7

   Immediately after taking the baking sheet out of the oven, spear each ball with a lollipop stick. Transfer to a rack and let cook completely.
