Brownies

Ingredients

1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs plus 2 large yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 -1/2 cups sugar
1 -3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13 pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set the prepared pan aside for later use.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Combine your cocoa and hot water in a large bowl. Whisk until incorporated. Stir in the unsweetened chocolate until melted and smooth.
Add the oil, butter, eggs, yolks and vanilla. Once the batter is smooth fold in the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined.
Spread your batter into your prepared pan. Smooth out with the back of a spoon. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

For a crispy top try dividing the whole eggs. Add the egg yolks where the eggs are called for in the recipe. Whip the whites and fold into the batter before pouring into the pan.
Use room temperature eggs.
Use parchment paper in your pan. This helps with easy clean up and also prevents them from sticking to the pan.
Keep a watchful eye on the bars. You want to catch them at just the right time. They might not look completely cooked, but that is the secret to a perfectly gooey brownie.
