Austinite Janet Thomas sends along this recipe for Wonder Brownies her “Grandie” used to make. “I just found this recipe and wanted to pass it along.”
Makes: 14 servings
Ingredients
• 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
• 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Watkins vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup dark cocoa powder
• Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Add the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 1½ minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes before whisking together. Add the granulated and brown sugars, vanilla, and salt, and combine. Whisk in the eggs.
Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and fold in. Then add the remaining chocolate chips.
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool, cut and serve.
