i am obsessed with these — i really like fudgy brownies more than gid, who prefers the cakier kind, so i give him all the edges and he’s happy. these are so fudgy, so chewy, so rich — and i upped the amount of salt from the original recipe to give them a little extra saltiness which i love.
when you see how much butter and sugar goes in, you’ll see they’re the opposite of healthy — but like, in a good way.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 3 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1½cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon salt (you can use less if you prefer a less salty brownie)
Instructions
- preheat oven to 350 degrees F. lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
- sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- bake in preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean(ish), about 32-36 minutes. remove, and cool pan on wire rack before cutting.
