Squares - Rich Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

• 12 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2/3 cup cocoa
• 1-1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
  
  

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350 and grease a 9x9 inch pan. In a 2-qt. saucepan, melt the butter, allowing it to get quite hot. Take the pan from the heat and whisk in the cocoa. Let the mixture cool completely. Whisk the sugar, salt, and vanilla into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add all the eggs at once and whisk again to combine. With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts. Spread the batter in the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out moist and gooey but not wet. About 25-30 min. Be careful not to overbake the brownies as they'll toughen. Allow them to cool completely before cutting.
