brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) butter, melted
- 3 cups (600 g) white sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) vanilla extract
- 4 eggs (add one more for a cakier result)
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (70 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (to give them a nice crust - omit if you don't want that)
- 6 oz chopped semisweet chocolate or 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (180 g)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350oF (175o C).
- Whisk flour and cocoa together with baking soda and salt, set aside
- Melt butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
- Gradually stir in the flour and cocoa mixture on low speed.
- Toss the chocolate chips in a light dusting of flour, and stir into the mix with a spoon or spatula. The flour will keep them suspended in the batter and prevent them from all sinking to the bottom!
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Spread the batter in the pan, slightly mounding on the sides so it will all bake evenly (avoiding the typical mound you get in the middle after baking).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.
