Ingredients
- 2 cups softened butter 1 lb
- 3 cups white sugar 600 g
- 1 cup brown sugar 210 g
- 8 eggs 18 oz
- 1 Tbs vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour 360 g
- 3/4 cups cocoa powder about 65 g
- 3/4 tsp salt
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together with a stand mixer - about 2 or 3 minutes. Slowly add the eggs in one at a time. Once fully incorporated mix in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter mixture until combined. The batter should be thick and similar to a soft cookie dough. Do not over mix the batter. Stop mixing immediately once the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly on the cookie sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
- Once the brownies are done let them cool. Cut the cookie sheet of from scratch brownies into squares--24 very large brownies or 48 "regular" size brownies.
