How to Make Can T Be Beat Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (Similar to making a pie crust).
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (for fudgy brownies). For chewier brownies, bake for a few minutes less.
  7. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
