I found my new favorite brownie! Its is so rich and chocolatey I almost don't know what to do. We had it with some peppermint ice cream and it was the perfect holiday treat!

Recipe Source: BrownEyedBaker.com

1 1/4 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Dark Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
11oz Dark Chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup Unsalted Butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
5 Eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9×13 baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and cocoa powder.

2. Put the chocolate, butter in a large glass or metal bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat, but keep the bowl over the water and add the granulated and brown sugars. Whisk until completely combined, then remove the bowl from the pan. The mixture should be room temperature now.

3. Add 3 of the eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir. Do not overmix the batter or your brownies will be cakey.

4. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just combined.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
