The Twelfth Day of Christmas "Cookies": Double Fudge Brownies (Martha Stewart)


Yes, I know. Brownies aren’t cookies. But this is what happens when your oldest asks for brownies for his birthday dessert, and his birthday happens to be on Christmas Day.  

I love this Martha Stewart brownie recipe – I’ve been making it for years. It’s even better with toasted walnuts.

Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies (Martha Stewart)

1        stick unsalted butter, cut into large pieces

6        ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I use bittersweet disks)

1 1/2  cups sugar

3        large eggs

1/4    cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2    teaspoon salt

1/2     cup, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1        cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

Directions

1.        Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving a slight overhang on all sides. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Whisk in cocoa and salt. Fold in flour until combined. Fold in toasted walnuts.

2.               Pour batter into pan. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes. Lift brownies from pan using parchment. Remove parchment, and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely. Cut into 9 squares.
