ONE BOWL EASY BROWNIES

This is my daughter's favorite brownie recipe. It is perfect because I always have the ingredients on hand and it doesn't require high end chopped chocolate or espresso, or anything that I need to make a special trip to the store for. Its basic but its delicious and its easy enough for her to make on her own.

These brownies are the perfect combination between fudgy and cakey. They have a rich chocolate flavor and like all chocolate baked goods, taste better on the day after they are baked. They are easy to make and also freeze well.

ONE BOWL EASY BROWNIES
Adapted from joy of baking
Makes 16 brownies

5 ounces (150 grams) (little less than 1 cup) dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup (1 stick) (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons (15 grams) cocoa powder

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs

3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (125 grams) dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper. 

Melt the chocolate and butter in microwave, stirring every at 30 seconds until melted. Let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder and sugar. Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 

Finally, stir in the flour, salt and chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few clumps clinging to it. Do not over-bake. Remove from oven and let cool. Serve at room temperature. These taste better on the day after they are baked and they also freeze well.
