Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Matzo cake meal
- 0.25 cups Potato starch
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly, until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
Gradually stir the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the matzo cake meal, potato starch, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. If using chopped nuts, fold them in at this step.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
