Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into large pieces
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving a slight overhang on all sides. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and whisk in sugar. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Whisk in cocoa and salt. Fold in flour until combined.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes. Lift brownies from pan using parchment. Remove parchment, and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely. Cut into 9 squares.
Cook's Note
To add crunch to the brownies, stir 1/2 cup of walnuts or pecans into the batter.

These turned out very cakey and dry. Totally overbaked at 30 min in the oven. Next time could be done at 25 or less for a moister brownie.
Very good. I switched out 1/2 cup of white sugar with just under 1/2 cup of brown, smoothed out some of the bitterness, not everyone in my family likes dark/bittersweet chocolate (crazy people). In response to the everytalented, my brownie standby recipe is from betterhomes
can any one please help me find a brownie recipie that doesnt use any chocolate, and only uses cocco powder??
which cocoa powder should i use ? Droste or scharffenberger ?
These brownies and yummmmmmmy..... To add another layer of decadence, I frosted with mint buttercream icing. I just made regular buttercream icing and added four drops of peppermint essence and some about 4/5 drops of green food colouring to icing. Very pretty and a nice finish to a potluck, or bar-b-que. Everyone always remembers a fabulous desert. Thanks.
Best brownies I've ever made! Just be sure not to over bake.
