Easy Chewy Fudgy Brownies

I will share with you an easy brownie recipe that your kid will surely like.
This is the first time I make it, and it was a success.
All ingredients are readily available in groceries/supermarkets.
Ingredients:
½ cup salted butter
8 oz (228 g) dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup + 2 table spoon (80g) all purpose flour.
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
nuts  (optional)
What you need:
Aluminum foil
Baking pan
Oven / oven toaster

Ingredients



Melt Butter/Margarine and chocolate using a double broiler

Once melted, let it cool and set aside.
 
Sift all purpose flour, salt and cocoa powder

Whisk the sugar into the cooled chocolatey/margarine mixture.


Add the eggs one at a time and whisk.  

Mixture will look like this.

Add the flour, salt and cocoa powder

Here's the complete DIRECTIONS:

Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium sauce pan, (melt it using a double broiler). Remove from the heat, and transfer into large mixing bowl and allow to slightly cool for about 10-20 minutes.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt. (3x) Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F or preheat your oven toaster to the highest minute.
Line the bottom of your baking pan with aluminum foil leaving an overhand on all sides. Set aside.
Whisk the granulated sugars into the cooled chocolaty/butter mixture. Add the eggs on at a time whisking until smooth after each addition. Add the vanilla then whisk.
Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Once combine fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-36 minutes using oven or 10 minutes using an oven toaster. (Lesser minute using an oven toaster since baking pan is small and you will make a 2-3 batch) or until the brownies begin to full away from the edges of the pan. Or use a toothpick. If there is only a few batter/crumbs clinging in the toothpick your brownies are done. All oven are not the same, so keep an eye on them after 30 minutes using an oven or 5 minutes using oven toaster. Use the tooth pick test to see if your brownie is ready.
Allow the brownies to cool completely. Then use a sharp knife to cut it to your desired size.


Enjoy! you may also add frostings :)

Grease your oven toaster pan. Or your cookie sheet.
Roll your dough into balls using your hands about 1 tablespoon of dough and place atleast 1 inch apart, then press each cookie using a fork.
Bake for about 5 to 10 minutes. Since I used an oven toaster make sure to watch your cookie when in a 5 minute mark. Baking will vary depends on the size of your dough.
