MOM'S BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together (mixture will be thick) and then spread in a jelly roll pan that has been greased and floured.
• Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes, or until brownies are done.
• Frost with favorite frosting.

MOM'S BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and 'flour' 9x13" pan, using cocoa powder instead of flour. (This will eliminate any white spots on bottom of brownies).
• In a large bowl, stir together cocoa, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Add oil, eggs, vanilla, and any optional ingredients. Mix well, stopping as soon as all ingredients are incorporated - excessive mixing will cause a cake-like texture.
• Pour into prepared 9x13" pan.
• Bake at 350 for 27-30 minutes. Test with toothpick, the brownies are done when no batter clings to it. Remove slightly earlier if you like a gooey, eat with a fork brownie.

ABSOLUTELY BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, and mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the vanilla and stir in walnuts if desired. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are firm. Cool before cutting into squares.

THE WORLD'S BEST BROWNIES

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
• Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.

AUNT SHARON'S BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat on medium and stir until sugar is melted. Remove from heat.
• Add vanilla, eggs and 1 cup of chocolate morsels (I use Ghirardelli's) and stir until chocolate is melted.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine baking soda, salt and flour, mix well. Add warm chocolate mixture and stir gently until combined.
• Spray bottom of a 9"x13" baking pan with spray release of choice, then pour in the brownie batter. Wait a minute or two for the batter to even out over the pan, then sprinkle with the additional cup of chocolate morsels.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
