Chewy Brownies

Today I’m going in for a little surgery on my hand. They are going to put a pin in it. Cross your fingers for me that it goes well.

 

 

 

I found this recipe over at Craftaholics Anonymous and it looked so yummy and gooey! I showed it to the kids and they wanted to make them. These are a really nice thick chewie brownie!

Chewy Brownies

1 2/3 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter, no substitute

2 tablespoon water

2 eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/3 cups flour

3/4 cups cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

chocolate chips to sprinkle on the top(optional)

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine sugar, butter, and water. Stir in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture. Stir until combined. Pour into a greased 9"x9" pan and cook for 32-38 minutes or until toothpick comes out still slightly gooey at the bottom of the toothpick.

*My secret trick is the smaller pan (9"x9" instead of 13"x9") and to take them out of the oven when the brownies are still a bit gooey on the inside. This makes super moist, super thick brownies!*
