The Perfect Brownies

If you’ve been on the look-out for the best brownie recipe on the face of the earth, my lovelies– your search has come to a happy ending. Lightly crisp edges and just chewy enough inside to be incredible without tasting…kind of…you know…raw. You know what I mean?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking the plethora of boxed mixes that are floating around out there, but sometimes, don’t you just get the hankering for a real, live, honest to goodness, homemade brownie? Well, I do. And once you taste this–you may just have to rethink everything else–and you won’t be sorry.

Trust me.

The Perfect Brownies

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups butter

3 cups sugar

1 Tbsp. vanilla

6 eggs

1-1/2 cups flour

1 cup cocoa

3/4 t baking powder

3/4 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease large baking pan. Mine is nearly as big as a cookie sheet…yeah, it’s big. If you don’t have one this big you could cut the recipe in half…but where’s the fun in that? :}

In a mixing bowl, blend the butter and sugar until creamy, then add vanilla. Add eggs and blend well. Slowly add all of the dry ingredients and beat on low for about 2-3 minutes or until everything is mixed thoroughly. Spread into pan and bake for about 35 minutes.

Allow to cool then dust with powdered sugar. Prepare yourself for the best brownies you’ve ever tasted. Oh, and you are welcome to drizzle frosting over the top, buy seriously, you won’t need to. These little guys are perfect alone…or with ice cream…or whipped cream…or a cold glass of milk.

You get the idea.

Nom…nom.
