Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your delicious brownies.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 2 cups of sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring a well-combined base for your brownies.
-
Add Eggs: Crack in 3 large eggs, and beat the mixture until it becomes light and airy, which will contribute to the fudgy texture of the brownies.
-
Incorporate Extracts: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract, allowing the delightful flavors to blend seamlessly into your batter.
-
Melt Chocolate and Remaining Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter along with your favorite chocolate until smooth and glossy. Allow this mixture to cool slightly before adding it to the batter.
-
Combine Mixtures: Beat the melted chocolate and butter into the creamed mixture, ensuring everything is fully integrated for an even texture.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in 4 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could affect the brownies’ texture.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
-
Cool and Slice: Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan. After cooling, cut into 42 squares by making 5 slices across and 6 slices lengthwise, ready to serve and enjoy!
