MAKE MY DAY BROWNIES

Here's "The Ultimate" brownie recipe, OR as I like to call them MAKE MY DAY BROWNIES. I have to say this is one of the easiest and hands down "fudgiest" brownie recipes you'll ever make.



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Baking time: 33-38 minutes Yields: 12 brownies

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp table salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup very coarsely chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch square pyrex baking dish or metal baking pan.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Add in the sugar and salt. Stir in the eggs and vanilla until just blended. Sprinkle in the flour and gently combine using a rubber spatula, then fold in the chopped chocolate.

Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Place the pan into the oven and bake it for 33-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean. Make sure not to overbake so the brownies can stay a fudgy consistency. Let cool and slice. ENJOY!

Serving idea: Drizzl.e the plate with chocolate, use a circle biscuit cutter to cut out brownie, put on the plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a few slices of strawberries.
