Chewy Chocolate Brownies

I love making brownies. They are simple, fast and make everyone happy! This recipe is similar to the one my mother makes, but uses more sugar and less flour, and a bit of salt to make it that much tastier!

I find that in order to make cutting the brownies easier, you should run your knife along the edge of the pan soon after removing the brownies from the oven or it may be stiff after.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Would love to hear any suggestions or ways to play with this recipe! :)

Chewy Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredient Mixture

3/4 Cup Flour

1 Cup Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Salt 

"Wet" Ingredient Mixture

1/3 Cup Butter + 2 Tablespoon Butter (remove 2 tbsp if using baker`s chocolate)

6 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder

2 Eggs (lightly beaten)

1/2 Teaspoon Salt 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease a 9x9" pan.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the "dry ingredients" and set aside.

Step 3: In a saucepan (or doubleboiler if you are using baker's chocolate), over medium to high heat, melt the butter. Then mix in the cocoa and remove from heat.
Step 4: Add beaten eggs and vanilla to the chocolate-butter mixture, and mix until smooth (try to make sure the egg doesn't cook in the hot mixture).

Step 5: Mix the "dry mixture" with the "wet mixture" until it is well blended. Pour mixture into your pan and place in the oven for about 25 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center).

Makes about 35 brownies.
