Ingredients
10tablespoonsunsalted buttercubed
1 1/4cupssugar
3/4cupplus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
2large eggs
1/2cupall-purpose flour
Optional: a sprinkling of sea salt before baking
Instructions
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each one to incorporate. When the batter is blended and shiny, add the flour and stir until there are no streaks left. Then still using the wooden spoon or rubber spatula, beat vigorously for 40 strokes. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center is slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely and then use the parchment or foil liner to remove from the pan.
