Ingredients:

2 large

Egg

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F

2

Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven

3

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, shiny side up

4

Lightly grease the foil with melted butter or nonstick cooking spray

5

Set the pan aside

6

Place 1/2 cup butter and the chocolate in a medium-sized, heavy-bottom saucepan; warm over very low heat, stirring until the mixture is melted and smooth

7

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the chocolate mixture to cool for about 3 minutes

8

Stir in the sugar and vanilla, then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition

9

Add the flour and salt and stir until just incorporated

10

Stir in the walnuts

11

Pour the batter evenly into the lined pan

12

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean but not dry

13

It's better to err on the side of underbaking, rather than overbaking

14

Place the pan on a rack and allow it to rest until it is cool to the touch

15

Carefully lift the foil-wrapped brownies out of the pan and onto a cutting board

16

Cool completely

17

Using a thin, sharp knife, cut into 16 squares

18

Store brownies in the pan in which they were baked or individually wrapped in a cookie jar
