Welcome to StarCooking.com. I'm Kathy Maister. Chocolate fudge brownies are everyone's favorite and are surprisingly simple to make.

An ingredient and equipment list is at the end of this video.

Place the oven rack in the middle position of your oven and then preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, then spray the foil with some non-stick

cooking spray. Set the pan aside while we make the brownies. Just eight ingredients are needed

to make these brownies. Let's start with the butter. 14 tablespoons of butter needs to get cut

into pieces, then place the pieces into a large microwave safe bowl and melt the

butter in the microwave. This will take about a minute. While the butter is melting, measure

one-half cup of unsweetened cocoa and one-and-one fourths cup of sugar. Add the cocoa powder to the

butter and whisk it together. Now whisk in the sugar. Set this

bowl aside for just a moment. Crack three eggs into a medium bowl. Lightly beat

them with two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Add the egg and vanilla mixture to the

cocoa mixture and whisk it all together. Add a pinch of salt, measure one

half cup of flour and mix that into the batter. And if you

like walnuts, fold in one cup. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Put the pan in the oven. These

brownies will take about 30 minutes to cook. Check to see if they're done by sticking a toothpick

into the center of the brownies. It should

have some moist crumbs attached to it. Be careful not to over bake your brownies. Remove the

brownies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Put the brownies

onto the wire rack and peel away the foil. Now flip them upright onto a cutting board

and start cutting.

Pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy!
