Michael's Addictive Brownies
For those of you who gobbled up those addictive brownies Michael Cooper brought to a recent tuesday post-run coffee, he's generously agreed to reveal his secret (and legal) ingredients:
- 6 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 3/4 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tbs vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts chopped
- Toast the walnuts about 15 minutes in a 350° F oven until fragrant. Cool. Increase oven heat to 375° F Butter and flour a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan.
- Melt chocolate and butter together, stirring often. Remove from heat and cool.
- Combine the eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat for 8 to 10 minutes, until light in colour, fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
- Gently stir in the chocolate and butter mixture, then fold in the flour just until well blended. Stir in the walnuts.
- Spread in the prepared baking pan and bake about 25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly moist.
- Cool in the pan a few hours, then cut into squares.
