Ingredients
2-1/2 sticks butter or margarine
10 rounded tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
4 extra large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 13x9 inch metal baking pan. Combine butter or margarine and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium low heat. Stir until butter is melted and cocoa powder is completely incorporated. Remove from heat. Stir in the sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and salt. Fold in the flour quickly and stir only until no flour is visible - you don’t want to overstir. Put into prepared pan. Sprinkle optional nuts over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Brownies will look very moist. Let cool in pan before slicing.
