Best Brownies

Ingredients:

4 eggs (beaten until foamy)

2 cups of sugar

½ cup butter (softened)

1 cup flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup cocoa

¾ cup chocolate chips (or however many you want—no one is watching)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix together.

2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa. Use fork or wire whisk to stir. Add to the wet ingredients and stir.

3. Add chocolate chips and/or nuts. Stir. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!

Plus: Best Boxed Brownies

Ingredients:

1 box of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate (or Double Dark) Brownie Mix

1/4 c water

1/2 c vegetable oil (or applesauce)

1 egg

1/4 c chocolate chips (or more—really, I put no limit on chocolate chips)

Directions:

1. Follow directions on the box.

2. After you spread the brownie mixture in the prepared pan, my secret is to add extra chocolate chips on the top to make sure there is at least one or five chocolate chips in every bite! Yum!
