Beer Brownies

3 ½ oz semi sweet chocolate8 tablespoons of butter, browned

4 eggs, at room temp

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Valrhona)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup stout (or any dark beer) or cold coffee

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.
4. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it just turns golden brown.
5. Pour the brown butter into a bowl, scraping the pan to get the brown bits (this prevents it from overcooking).
6. Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and shiny (2 minutes).
7. Continue beating on low while adding flour mixture and wet ingredients alternatively.
8. Finish with the vanilla. Do not over mix. Fold in the chips.
9. Pour into a buttered and floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
