Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Place the melted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a spoon, mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until well mixed.
- Add the flour mixture in three portions, mixing just until the batter is combined.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool the brownies for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
Notes
- *Either natural or Dutch process cocoa powder will work. Just be sure to use a good quality cocoa powder. There are several brands of dark cocoa powder available. For these brownies, I used King Arthur Flour's Double Dutch Dark Cocoa.
