Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter or margarine
- 5 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate chopped into pieces
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 large eggs

Instructions
- Position one of your oven racks in the middle of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or shortening.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl beat the sugar, vanilla, and egg with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary to make sure everything is well blended.
- Beat in the chocolate mixture with the mixer on low speed, scraping the bowl occasionally as necessary.
- Add the flour and beat on low speed just until blended.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes or just until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and center is set.
- Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
