Cheryls Brownies Recipes

THE BEST BROWNIES AKA CHOCOLATE CHEWY WONDERS

Steps:

• Kick the tires and light the fires and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a pot, remove from the heat and stir in the white sugar.
• Once that is combined, mix in your cocoa.
• Add in your eggs then add in the vanilla. If you are using chocolate chips instead of chocolate chunks, you can mix in the 2/3 of a cup after the eggs are thoroughly combined into the mix.
• Once all that is mixed very, very well, add in your flour and barely stir it in. Just barely. I read somewhere that stirring the flour mixture creates gluten, which in turn creates the cakey texture I don't like for brownies. So in theory, the less you stir, the less gluten and then chewy brownies here we come!
• Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
• I used chocolate chunks, which I placed on top of the batter. They are so heavy that they sink right into it. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until the brownies pull away from the edges slightly.This is why I use the chunks, they sink in right to the top level of the brownies. Cool the brownies.
