Hi, Everybody! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and enjoying these last couple of days of May! I have a delicious recipe to share with you today. You know those days when nothing but a big brownie will do? And not just any brownie, but the rich, dense, chocolaty kind of brownie, filled with big walnut chunks, that makes everything ok again as soon as you take a big bite out of it! I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about! Well, for days like that, this is one of my favorite brownie recipes!

DECADENT COCOA BROWNIES
WITH WALNUTS
(Recipe from The Smitten Kitchen)
*Makes 16 Brownie squares*
YOU WILL NEED
10 tbs unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
;

DIRECTIONS
l
1. First, preheat your own to 325 deg F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Then, fill a skillet with boiling water so it’s about half full, and let it simmer on your stove. In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter, cocoa powder, sugar and salt. Set the heatproof bowl over the skillet, and stir continuously (making sure none of the water mixes in with the cocoa mixture!) until you get a thick, sticky almost dough-like consistency.
.
2. Transfer the mixture into your electric mixer bowl, and with the mixer running, add the eggs (one by one) and the vanilla extract. Then, add in the flour and mix just until your batter is smooth. Fold in the walnuts using a wooden spoon.
;
3. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out using a rubber spatula. Bake for about 25 – 30 minutes, or until the brownies have set. Let cool completely before cutting and serving!

Happy Baking, Everyone!
looks delicious as always!:)

Made these today. Still baking. Hope they taste as good as it smells?. 1/30/16
Can we double the recipe & bake them in a 9×13 pan? If yes, what would the cooking time be?
Wow!! I just made these today. I have been searching for a great brownie recipe, and I have found it! Woohoo!! I’m so excited. I am a huge lover of brownies but just couldn’t find the one that checks all the boxes. Not to dry, not to moist, that it seems like you are eating raw batter. The cocoa taste is strong enough to satisfy that chocolate craving I often have, which is what brings me to brownies. Thank you, Thank you. Blessings Doreen.
I’ve tried many recipes and these brownies are very good with that cocoa taste. I can stop looking any further now for a tasty brownie. My whole family enjoyed these brownies. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Maria I have a Wilton Brownie pan and it is 9 x 9. Can I still this baking dish???
