Ingredients
Brownies:5 ounces (140 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped1/2 cup (1 stick) (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces2 tablespoons (15 grams) cocoa powder1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract3 large eggs3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Butter (or spray with a nonstick cooking spray) an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder and sugar . Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour, salt and chocolate chips (if using).

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a little batter and a few moist clumps clinging to it. Do not over bake. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled. These freeze very well.

    I added some well drained sour cherries and dusted them with powdered sugar after they'd cooled. Black Forrest brownies. They were awesome - 11/20/19
