BEST COCOA BROWNIES
Cocoa brownies have the softest center and chewiest candylike top "crust" of all because all of the fat in the recipe (except for a small amount of cocoa butter in the cocoa) is butter, and all of the sugar is granulated sugar rather than the finely milled sugar used in chocolate. Use the best cocoa you know for these fabulous brownies.
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup walnut or pecan pieces (optional)

Special equipment: An 8-inch square baking pan

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.

Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.

Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.

Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.

Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.

Chocolate note: Any unsweetened natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder works well here. Natural cocoa produces brownies with more flavor complexity and lots of tart, fruity notes. I think it's more exciting. Dutch-process cocoa results in a darker brownie with a mellower, old-fashioned chocolate pudding flavor, pleasantly reminiscent of childhood.

1/2 pound unsweetened chocolate

4 cups sugar

Add the mixture to the sugar, all by hand. Add 2 cups flour, mix.

Add four eggs. Mix. Add the remaining cup of flour and mix well.

Add the remaining four eggs and the 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

Mix well by hand until well incorporated. Pour into a greased 11-by-17-inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Check often; do not overcook, so they don't get too cakey.

Disgustingly Rich Brownies

Yield: 16 brownies

Ingredients:

2 cubes (1 cup) butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then smear the inside of an 8 or 9-inch baking pan with shortening.

Melt the butter over a low heat. Watch it. It’s easy to burn.

In your mixing bowl, stir the cocoa and sugar together. Then stir in the melted butter. Add the eggs and vanilla, and stir again. Now add the flour and salt, and mix just until smooth. Not too much. (If you’re adding walnuts, now’s the time.)

Scrape the mixture out into the greased pan and spread out in an even layer.

Bake in a 350-degree oven until the brownies just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan (or until you can stick a toothpick in and pull it out with no batter sticking to it). Takes about 60 to 65 minutes. Let cool before cutting.

Answer 5

I don't know, I think you guys are all missing the boat. The best brownie recipe is on the back of the Hersheys UNSWEETENED baking chocolate, rather than using cocoa I would make this one. A person could make money selling these brownies. I actually use this recipe and use Ghiradelli brand chocolate.

Answer 6

the hershey's cocoa containers used to have a good recipe

6 level tbs cocoa
1/3 cup + 2 tbs shortening (crisco)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup self rising flour
(or 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt)
1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired

heat oven to 350. Soften crisco, mix in cocoa. Mix in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Grease 8x8 pan (I prefer baker's joy spray) and bake for 30-35 minutes

enjoy

Answer 7
