Recipe Introduction

Linda tells me this is the best ever! One of these days I will give it a whirl and get back to you!

List of Ingredients


Prep: 7 minutes Bake: 20 to 25 minutes Makes: 24

2 sticks (8 oz.) butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chunks or chips (2 cups)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)




Recipe


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

2. Melt butter over low heat or in a microwave. Scrape into a medium bowl. Add cocoa powder and stir until well blended. Mix in sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, then flour and salt. Do not overbeat. Stir in chocolate chunks and, if desired, nuts.

3. Turn into prepared pan, leveling surface. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Remove pan to a rack. Let cool completely in pan before cutting into 24 bars.


Note: In my oven, these brownies need to bake at least 30 to 35 minutes before they're done.
