Fudgy Brownies

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 24

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter
1 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set it to the side.

    Step 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and gradually add the sugar, mixing thoroughly. Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture to combine. Stir the vanilla into the chocolate mixture in the saucepan and then combine the batter with the chocolate mixture, stirring them together well. Finally, add the chocolate chips, again stirring well.

    Step 4

    Pour the mixture evenly into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Bake for 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
