Duff’s “The” Brownie

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 9 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. lightly packed brown sugar
  • 3 extra-large eggs, plus 2 extra-large egg yolks
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and butter a 9-inch square pan. Lining it with parchment paper is helpful as well. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate together, stirring often to avoid scorching. Set it aside off the heat.

  2. In a big bowl, whisk both sugars, the eggs and yolks. Whisk in the salt and vanilla. Add the melted butter and chocolate and whisk to just combine.

  3. Gradually stir in the flour and mix until everything is combined and smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.

  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle displays as much goo on it as you want to see in the middle of those brownies!

  5. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a rack for about 45 minutes. Slice them at room temp or colder.
