Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 6 - 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 5 ounces bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons unsweetened American-style cocoa powder (like Hershey's)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Aluminum foil (for baking)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
- Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan (non-stick baking spray works well)
- Line the pan with aluminum foil, letting the foil overhang two opposite sides of the pan by about 2 inches.
- Grease the foil, or coat with non-stick baking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and chocolate for about 1 minute. Stir well.
- Continue to microwave at 30 second intervals, until the chocolate is about 80% melted. The residual heat will finish melting the chocolate.
- In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt: set aside.
- Stir the sugar and brown sugar into the chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the flour mixture until just evenly incorporated.
- Turn out the batter into the baking pan lined with the foil, spreading to the edges.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 - 33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center. It's okay if it's still moist at the bottom...this is good.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
- Using the overhanging foil as handles, transfer the brownies to a cutting board.
- Carefully peel off foil.
- Cut the brownies into 12 bars.
- Enjoy!
