Description
These are absolutely the chewiest, moistest, fudgiest brownies ever! I have tried adding so many different things to the batter, and they ALWAYS comes out great. They are also great without any add-ins! BUT by varying the add-ins, you can make different brownies every week (or day!!) SUPER EASY PREP! So, add "whatever floats your boat" and you will not believe how great they come out.
Ingredients
| 1 | c | butter, melted |
| 1 | c | unsweetened cocoa |
| 2 | c | sugar |
| 4 | eggs | |
| 1 | T | vanilla |
| 1 | c | flour |
| 1⁄2 | t | salt |
| 2 | c | whatever floats your boat: see note |
Instructions
NOTE: 2 (or more!) cups chocolate chips (semisweet, white, butterscotch, peanut butter, mint, etc.) and/or raisins, chopped maraschino cherries, chopped nuts, M&M's or Reese's pieces, miniature marshmallows, etc.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line 13 x 9 pan with Reynolds Parchment Paper: TURN pan upside down and press a sheet of parchment paper over the inverted pan. FLIP the pan over and drop molded sheet of parchment paper inside pan, pressing folds into corners to fit inside pan.
In a medium bowl combine melted butter and cocoa and stir until cocoa is dissolved.
Add sugar and mix well.
Add eggs one at a time and stir until well combined.
Stir in vanilla, flour and salt until you no longer see any flour (do not over-mix!).
Fold in "WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT"!
Spread in prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
DO NOT OVER-BAKE - your brownies will come out dry. Adjust time/temp accordingly for your oven. If you do the knife/toothpick test, it should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
WHEN cooled completely, lift out of pan by edges of parchment paper; place on a cutting board. Fold back edges of parchment paper; cut into squares.
You can 1/2 this recipe and make it in an 8 inch square pan - bake for about 25 minutes.
