Equipment

  • Microwave safe bowl
  • half-sheet pan
  • offset spatula
  • cutting board
  • plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound butter 4 sticks
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 8 ounces milk chocolate chopped
  • 8 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a half-sheet pan with non-stick spray, line with parchment, and spray parchment. Or line the pan with non-stick foil (my preference).
  • Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, stop and stir, and continue microwaving for 30-second intervals, stopping and stirring till the mixture is smooth and melted. Set aside.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl and mix in salt, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate mixture, then fold in the flour.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top with an offset spatula.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top has formed a shiny crust. Cool in pan.
  • Cover with plastic wrap when cool and refrigerate for easy cutting.
  • To serve, lift the cold brownies out of the pan using the foil and place them on a cutting board. Peel back the foil, and cut to the desired size.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Nick Malgieri. You can easily make a half batch in a 9 x 13-inch pan. These taste even better the day after they are baked. I recommend refrigerating overnight.
