Ingredients

4 ounces (114 g) unsweetened chocolate broken into pieces
½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup (40 g) all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
powdered sugar optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 glass baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
To a heavy bottom saucepan, over medium-low heat, add the butter and chocolate. Let it melt, stirring nearly constantly.
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, ½ cup unsalted butter
Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar. Continue stirring for approximately 1 minute.
1 cup granulated white sugar
One at a time, add in the eggs, stirring for at least 30 seconds between each addition.
2 large eggs
Add in the vanilla and stir another 30 seconds.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add in the flour and salt stirring until just combined - just until there are no traces of white.
⅓ cup all purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool for approximately 20 minutes and then slice into 16 pieces.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

Brownies may look underdone, but they’re ready when a toothpick comes out clean (they’re fudgy!).
For clean slices, use a plastic knife or a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
Cut into 16 slices, or larger if you prefer.
For freezing: Layer with parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container or bag.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to a week.
