The Best Brownies I've Ever Tasted


I’ve done it! I’ve found the most fantastic, perfect, moist, chewy, rich brownie recipe ever concocted! A girl I work with brought them in as Christmas goodies, and it was love at first bite! After shaking her down for the recipe, I whipped up a batch for a Super Bowl party over the weekend. Apparently I’m not the only one that likes them! They were a hit!

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, melted
3 cups sugar (don’t skimp! It’s worth it!)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips (I used white chips)

To concoct:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9”x13” pan with parchment paper, and set it aside.

Using a hand mixer, beat the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add an egg in one at a time and continue beating.

Sift your flour, cocoa, and salt together. This is important if you want a smooth consistency. If you like chunky brownies, ignore this step – but I don’t condone it!
Next add a 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the wet and stir by hand. Continue adding thirds until all is incorporate. Do not over mix! Lastly, fold in your chocolate chips.

Spread the batter in the bottom of the parchment-lined pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, and the brownies pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely.

Slice into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
