Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 23 minutes
Total Time 43 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups of white granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups of cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips (I usually buy Kroger brand - I like that they are not so small)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a sauce pan
  • Just before butter is completely melted - add sugar.  Stir until butter is completely melted and sugar is mixed evenly into the melted butter.
  • Transfer melted butter and sugar mixture into bowl.  I use my KitchenAid Mixer
  • In same bowl, mix together butter/sugar mixture, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs, cocoa powder and flower.  (I allow the mixer to run for a couple minutes - mixture will be thick)
  • When all above ingredients are mixed thoroughly - stir in chocolate chips.
  • IMMEDIATELY pour into greased 13x9 baking pan.  (The longer you wait - the thicker and harder to transfer the mixture)
  • Bake at 350 for 23 minutes.  Your oven may require a few more minutes.  (I know that is an odd number - but it will continue to cook in the pan for a minute or two once it is removed from the oven.  Overdone brownies are just not yummy!)

Notes

Additional Topping Ideas:

  • Melt chocolate and shortening together - drizzle over top of brownies
  • Add chopped nuts
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over top of brownies
