A BIG Shout Out to Smoochmaroo on Instuctables.com for this amazing recipe. I don't know who you are but, (Oh, yes I do .. You are the brownie queen). Thanks for sharing..
The best brownie recipe for making perfect brownies every time. I like them fudgey and gooey with a crisp top. But there are simple alterations you can make for a cakier or softer result. Use this recipe as your platform for customizing your perfect brownie! Making brownies from scratch doesn't have to be hard! Don't be afraid of flour and chocolate - the rewards you reap will be well worth the effort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) butter, melted
- 3 cups (600 g) white sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) vanilla extract
- 4 eggs (add one more for a cakier result)
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (70 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (this seems to give them a nice crust - omit if you don't want that)
- 1 cup (182 g) semisweet chocolate chips
step 2Prepare
Preheat oven to 350oF (175o C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with the paper from the butter.Melt butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
step 5Sift
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and baking soda.. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until blended.
step 6Choclify
Toss the chocolate chips in a light dusting of flour, and stir into the mix with a spoon or spatula. The flour will keep them suspended in the batter and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
step 7Bake
Pour into prepared pan. Spread the batter in the pan, slightly mounding on the sides so it will all bake evenly (avoiding the typical mound you get in the middle after baking. Bake for35-40 minutes. (Allison here. I ran out of time at 30 mins. They were still really gooey, so I did what all brownie a- holics would do,. I cut off some of the edges, turned off the oven, opened the door a bit, and let them sit in there while I ate my brownie as I ran off to work. They were perfect when I got home 8 hours later...)
