Classic Chewy Brownies

8 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups Butter, Cubed
  • 3-1/2 ounces, fluid Unsweetened Or Bittersweet Chocolate (with At Least 70% Cocoa Solids)
  • 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs, Whole
  • 1/4 cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoons Baking Powder (optional, You Can Omit This If You Want A Denser, Fudgy-er Brownie)
  • 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch pan with aluminum foil, and grease foil.
  2. 2
    In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, combine butter and chocolate. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
  3. 3
    Mix in granulated sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and beat vigorously for about 3 minutes. The batter will look lumpy and grainy at first, but keep on beating until thick, smooth, and glossy.
  4. 4
    Mix in cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, then fold in flour.
  5. 5
    Pour batter into pan, and bake for 18-20 minutes. You don't want to over-bake them! The brownies will have set and risen oh-so-slightly, but the center should not be completely firm. A toothpick inserted into center should be covered with moist crumbs.
