Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool until just lukewarm.
• In a bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until well combined and slightly thickened.
• Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until evenly blended.
• Sift the unbleached all-purpose flour and the pinch of salt directly over the chocolate-egg mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients in just until no dry streaks remain.
• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9-inch pan.
• Bake for 33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only crumbs (no wet batter).
• Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.
