Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar (can use more for a sweeter brownie)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla (or can use 1/4 cup kahlua in place of )
  • 2 large eggs ( must be cold not room temperature!)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (or use both!) or 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or use both!)

Directions:

  1. Set oven to 350 degrees (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
  2. Grease a 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
  3. In a small bowl mix together flour and salt; set aside.
  4. In a heatproof bowl combine the 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, 1-1/4 cups sugar and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa.
  5. Set the bowl over barely simmering water, and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot.
  6. Remove the bowl, and set aside a short time until the mixture is only warm not hot.
  7. Stir in vanilla or Kahlua (if using) and oil with a wooden spoon.
  8. Add in cold eggs, and whisk vigorously.
  9. When the batter looks thick and shiny and well blended, add in the flour/salt mixture with a wooden spoon, then changing to a wire whisk mix until completely blended.
  10. Stir in the nuts and/or chocolate chips.
  11. Spread evenly into prepared baking pan.
  12. Bake about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out just slightly moist with batter.
