Fudgy Double-Chocolate Brownies

Name: Fudgy Double-Chocolate Brownies
Yield: Makes nine 2 1/2-inch squares
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

A double dose of chocolate -- bittersweet and cocoa powder -- makes these brownies the most satisfying around. The thin crust gives way to a rich, fudgy interior.

Makes nine 2 1/2-inch squares

Yield

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

1. 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.
2. 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. Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Cook's Notes

To add crunch, stir 1/2 cup of walnuts or pecans into the batter.

Great quick, basic brownie. Mine took 32 minutes. I'd suggest setting your timer for 25 and seeing how much longer you need from there.

If you want to kick your brownies up a notch, then you have to try these Mexican chocolate brownies. They are a perfect combination of sweet and heat - you will not be disappointed!

I can't eat milk chocolate, anyone have a suggestion of a replacement with no dairy or lactose, or do you think just the cocoa powder would be fine? Thanks!

very good rich chocolate flavour. reduce the baking time if you want your brownies to turn out soft and fudgy in the middle. otherwise they will turnout with a drier, cakey texture

Love these brownies! I usually have two brownie recipes that I make. One that is really fudgy and thin and one that is fluffy with a cake-like texture. These have a very balanced texture, a little of both. They are also very thick- yum! I loved the extra chocolate flavor ..... they go great with vanilla ice cream!
