The most chocolatey, fudgy and moist brownies ever! Just like the ones they served for school lunch dessert, from Life in the Lofthouse site. Just as a note, be sure not to over bake as you want them to remain moist and chewy. Next time I'm adding walnuts to them just for something special

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk (I use 2%)

Steps:

Brownie:.
Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth.
Add the flour and sugar. Beat together then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Don't over mix. (Batter will be thick).
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove brownies from oven and let stand 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies still warm when you frost them!

Tips:

Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough brownie.
Use a toothpick to check if the brownies are done baking, and insert it into the center of a brownie; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving, as this will help them set and hold their shape.
