Ingredients
1½ cups sugar¾ cup flour
¾ cup cocoa powder (see note below)
3 eggs
¾ cup butter, melted
½ teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter)
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F!
Combine dry ingredients and quickly whisk together. Add butter and eggs. Combine, but do not beat too much because the flour will release...GLUTEN! Gasp!!!
(Kneading flour produces gluten, the springy protein that makes bread chewy)
Now stir in the chocolate chips. Taste if you like! avoid e-coli while you're at it...
Bake your awesome brownies for 20-30 minutes. When poking the brownies, make sure you are not making contact with a chip by poking several places.
