How to Make Dark And Delicious Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position rack in the middle.
- Lightly grease and flour an 11x17 inch jelly-roll pan.
- Spread 1 cup of walnut halves on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly browned.
- Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt on medium-high speed until light, thick, and mousse-like (3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Add in 3 additions, mixing until combined after each addition.
- Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture and toasted walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 15 (3x4 inch) squares.
- Dust with cocoa powder (optional) for an extra touch of elegance. Brush off excess cocoa for a velvety finish.
