Best Friends Forever Brownies
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (100 percent cacao), chopped
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (if you have fine sea salt, use it)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (any type, as long as it's unsweetened)
- 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 8-inch square baking pan
- Heat oven to 325u0b0F with rack in middle. Lightly grease or butter pan and line with crisscrossed sheets of parchment or foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
- Melt chocolate with butter in a large metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove bowl from pan and let cool 5 minutes.
- Add sugar and whisk well.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk mixture vigorously until smooth and cohesive.
- Whisk in vanilla and salt.
- Add flour and cocoa and stir with whisk until incorporated and batter is smooth.
- Fold in nuts with a rubber spatula.
- Spread batter evenly in pan and bake until a wooden pick comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- Cool brownies completely in pan on a rack.
- To remove them easily from the pan, use the parchment overhangs to lift the brownies, still on the parchment, from the pan. Cut brownies into serving pieces.
