Chewy Fudgy Brownies

Recipe By: Devin Judkins

Hello foodies, are you doing good today? Good. Today I want to share my recipe for chewy, fudgy brownies. I like to call them that because to me, they are the perfect mix between a chewy brownie and a fudgy brownie. 

Now, it took me a while to get the recipe exactly how I wanted it, but I finally got them right. These use a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, semisweet chocolate, and a little cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor.

Please give these brownies a try and let me know what you think.

Notes: 

- If you don't have a heat safe bowl or don't want to use the simmering water method, you can place the butter and chocolate in a sauce pan on LOW heat and melt the two, stirring constantly. 

- You can also place the chocolate and butter into a bowl and melt in the microwave, make sire to stop and stir the two every 15 seconds to prevent burning the chocolate. (You also may want to cover the bowl just in case the butter splatters).

- I used a 9x9 inch pan for this recipe and my brownies cooked in exactly 20 minutes. If you're using an 8x8 inch pan, you're going to have to cook the for about 30 or 35 minutes, but check on them at 30 minutes.

- You may want to add some parchment paper into your pan for easy removal of the brownies.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate

- 1 stick butter

- 3/4 cup white sugarr

- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp. all purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp. salt

- 2 tsp. vanilla extract

- 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder

- 1 tsp. baking powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a heat safe bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water in the pot is NOT touching the bottom of the bowl) and add in your chocolate and butter and melt the two, stirring constantly (see notes for alternate method). After the butter and chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and let the mixture cool for five minutes. Add in the sugars and stir until combined. Add in the eggs and the vanilla and stir. Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and mix only until the flour is worked into the batter. Butter a 9x9 inch baking pan (see notes for 8x8 inch pan) and spread the batter evenly into the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely and then cut and serve.
