CHEWY BROWNIES

What's gooey on the inside, crackly on top, and supremely delicious all over?Our fresh take on this crowd-pleasing dessert. Unsweetened chocolate and brown sugar impart a rich, well-rounded flavor, while adding a bit of oil to the batter results in the addictively chewy texture that makes this version an instant classic.

  • Position the oven racks to the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch metal square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1” overhang. Spray with nonstick spray. (See note above about baking pans)
  • Cut the butter into small cubes. In a heatproof bowl, combine the cubed butter and chopped chocolate and gently melt over a double boiler, whisking occasionally to combine. Once BOTH the chocolate and butter are completely melted, remove and set aside. Let the chocolate and butter cool slightly while you whip the eggs. It should still be warm, around 130°F-140°F before adding to the eggs (you don't want the temperature warmer than 140°F or you will cook the eggs!).
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Turn the stand mixer on low speed and then gradually pour in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Once the sugars are added, increase the speed to the highest speed and whisk for 8-10 minutes (yes! whisk the whole time - this is what will give us the crackly crust!). The eggs should be light and fluffy and a very pale yellow color.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, dutch-process cocoa powder and kosher salt and mix to combine. Sift to remove any clumps. Cocoa powder always has clumps so it’s important to break them up to make it easier to fold the dry ingredients into the batter at the end.

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each end and butter the exposed sides.
  • In a large bowl over a pot with ½-inch of simmering water, stir together chocolate and butter until completely melted, smooth and glossy.
  • Beat eggs with sugar vigorously in a large bowl using a whisk or hand mixer until pale, thick and fluffy. When you lift up the beaters, the egg mixture will form a slowly disappearing ribbon on the surface of the mixture when it falls back into the bowl. It will take a bit more effort to do it by hand, but I really like using a whisk! Beat in vanilla and salt then stir in warm chocolate mixture until evenly blended. Stir in flour until well incorporated and smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and use the back of the spatula to smooth out the surface.
  • Bake for 20-25 minute until slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted someplace between the edge and the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
