Brownies #1

[Alix]

Melt 1 cup of butter in the microwave, stir in 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips until melted. (Edit: I melted the butter and then poured it into the sugar and 1 cup of cocoa instead of using the chocolate. I want to jar these recipes)

Stir in 2 cups of sugar (I used one of each brown and white). Add in 4 beaten eggs and stir until well blended.

Stir in 1 cup flour, and 1 cup chocolate chips.

Place in 13x9 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes

This will be sort of gooey in the middle with a nice crust on top.

gooey in the middle is a nice thing!!

These sound good and easy!!
I think I'll try a batch today! Yummy!

 

[Chocoholic]

That is a nice easy-looking recipe..thanks!

 

[Alix]

My pleasure! I am looking for testers for two brownie recipes as I explain in this thread. Maybe you would test both for me?

 

[pdswife]

I'll test them both Alix... but only one this week and one next week or the week after.

 

[Alix]

Thanks pdswife! I am not in a big hurry, just interested in the preferences.

 

[mudbug]

Boy, are you a taskmaster, Alix. Brownie research???!!! Sheesh.

 

[middie]

i'll make both alix. but batch #1 seems more up my alley

Alix, since I have a big group who love brownies, I'll be more than happy to test them for you...I'll tell them I have to have at least one piece of each one..Geez t last I get some dessert This first one looks super easy and yummy.

The 2nd recipe is here.

Alix- I made this recipe (#1) this afternoon. I made it the way you did, with cocoa and sugar instead of chocolate. Anyway, I brought them over to my Mom's house and shared them with her choir group that was over. They did not last long! I even had a few people ask for the recipe. I quite liked them too as they were very moist and chewy with a dense texture that I like when I eat a brownie. I will make recipe #2 in the next day or so and let you know which I like better.

Ooh Alix! These sound yummy. I know I've made your brownie recipe before but this one calls for 4 eggs. Are the extra eggs what makes them chewy? I will have to try these soon.

 

[pdswife]

I have recipe #1 in the oven. They smell wonderful!
I didn't have enough cocoa so I had to use the chocolate chips ( and only had milk chocolate).

I guess I should say I tried to make recipe #1.

I liked using the white and brown sugar. The batter had a caramel kind of taste. YUMMY!

 

[pdswife]

Yummmy!!!! The neighbors even called and asked for the recipe! Thanks Alix!!!

The bottom seems a little hard though.. could it have been the dark glass pan I was using? Did you grease your pan or just pour the batter in?

I dont know about Alix, but when I made these I used a metal non-stick brownie/cake pan. I lightly spritzed some cooking oil on the bottom of the pan and didnt have the problem you mentioned.

 

[pdswife]

thanks grumblebee... I'll use another pan next time and see if that helps.

 

[Alix]

Non stick metal pan here too. Never thought about that pdswife, wonder if the cooking temp is different for glass?

 

[middie]

i think with glass you're supposed to decrease the temp by 25 degrees.

 

[pdswife]

opps... didn't do that. Next time.
