Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter or margarine
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup matzo cake meal
- 0.25 cup potato starch
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and then line it with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter or margarine and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift in the cocoa powder, matzo cake meal, potato starch, and kosher salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
