Original Recipe Yield 24 bars

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 cups white sugar

• 4 eggs

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.

3. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.

4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the cocoa.

5. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

6. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter.

7. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top has crusted over. You want the tester to come out with a little batter on it, not completely clean.

9. Cool for a few minutes before cutting into bars.

Today we made Brownies in class and I feel like our group didn't do so well with time and productivity because we were to busy spending time on making sure that the batter was smooth yet thick. One thing our group did well was making the batter. What I would change in the recipe is that we should have less salt because it tasted a little bit too salty. One thing we learned for this recipe is that the wax paper should cover the entire pan so that we can get the brownies perfectly out of the pan.
