White Chocolate Brownies

Source of Recipe


From "The Complete Cookie"






List of Ingredients



• 8 ounces white chocolate, divided
  
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  
• 3 large eggs
  
• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
• 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
  
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray an 8x8-inch pan with cooking spray; set aside.
   
   
2. Coarsely chop 4 ounces chocolate. Combine with the butter in a 2-cup microwave-safe measuring cup. Heat in a microwave oven at full power for 45 seconds. Stir and microwave at full power for 30 seconds more. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
   
   
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 1 minute, until the sugar has completely dissolved, leaving a thick, pale mixture. Beat in the chocolate mixture at low speed, until thoroughly combined. Stir in the nuts and flour with a wooden spoon.
   
   
4. Coarsely chop 2 ounces chocolate and stir into the batter. Transfer to the prepared pan, smoothing with a spoon to even out. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the center is firm to the touch and the top is golden.
   
   
5. Finely chop the remaining 2 ounces chocolate. Sprinkle over the warm brownies; do not spread. Cut when cool.
