Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned into cup to measure, then leveled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, chilled
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 325°F. Line 8 x 8 x 2-inch metal baking pan with foil, pressing foil firmly against pan sides and leaving 2-inch overhang. Coat foil with nonstick spray. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until butter stops foaming and browned bits form at bottom of pan, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately add sugar, cocoa, 2 teaspoons water, vanilla, and 1⁄4 teaspoon (generous) salt. Stir to blend. Let cool 5 minutes (mixture will still be hot). Add eggs to hot mixture 1 at a time, beating vigorously to blend after each addition. When mixture looks thick and shiny, add flour and stir until blended. Beat vigorously 60 strokes. Stir in nuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
  • Bake brownies until toothpick inserted into center comes out almost clean (with a few moist crumbs attached), about 25 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Using foil overhang, lift brownies from pan. Cut into 4 strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 brownies. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

I love the texture of these brownies. They're fudgy and chewy, but they also have a nice crispy crust.

I've never made brownies with browned butter before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The browned butter adds such a rich flavor.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The brownies were still delicious!

These brownies are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my brownies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good.

These brownies were absolutely delicious! The browned butter and walnuts added a richness and depth of flavor that I've never experienced in a brownie before. The texture was also perfect - fudgy and chewy on the inside, with a slightly crispy crust
