Best Cocoa Brownies
These delicious cocoa brownies are dense and fudgy, perfect for satisfying those cravings for something seriously rich and chocolatey.
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup flour
Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, and cocoa powder in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until butter is melted. Stir together until smooth. Set aside to let the butter cool down until it's just warm.
- Stir in vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Mix in flour until just combined, then beat for 40 strokes. Spread into a well-greased 8x8 inch pan.
- Bake in lower third of oven at 325F for 20-30 minutes. (Mine is closer to 30, in a glass pan.) When you insert a toothpick inserted in the center, it should have moist crumbs sticking to it. Cool completely before serving (if you can; we never do).
