Recipe Introduction


Tasters far preferred the more complex flavor of bittersweet chocolate here over semisweet chocolate. Don't feel like chopping chocolate for melting, use bittersweet chocolate chips.





List of Ingredients



• 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  
• 3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
  
• 3 large eggs
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch-square pan with two sheets of foil, placed perpendicular to one another and with extra foil hanging over edges of pan; coat foil lightly with vegetable oil spray. Melt the chocolates, butter, and cocoa in the microwave, stirring often, 1 to 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly.
   
   
2. Whisk the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth. Stir in the flour until no streaks remain.
   
   
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes.
   
   
4. Let cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, before removing the brownies from the pan (using the foil) and cutting into squares.
