Chocolate Brownies

By ascendeddaniel

I just realized that I have not yet posted my recipe for chocolate brownies. I apologize for the delay, but here it is.

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate bits

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Mix the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in cocoa until blended well.
  • Beat in the baking powder and salt until blended.
  • Beat in the flour until blended.
  • Make sure to get all the stuff from the sides of the bowl.
  • Stir in chocolate bits.
  • Pour into a greased pan (9 x 13 inches).
  • Bake at 350F for 30 min (check at 25 first time, ovens can vary).
  • Let the brownies cool before cutting into bars.

Notes:

  • Use Ghirardelli cocoa and Ghirardelli 60% chocolate chips for above average quality brownies.
  • Adjust the baking time for how you like your brownies. Start by checking after 25 minutes, and every minute after. When a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean, they are done.
  • I usually cut the pan into 24 brownies (6 x 4). Cut off the edges for fancy presentation. Your friends will like eating the edges when you cut them, and for fancy events, no-edge brownies are a nice touch.
