for the original recipe, please click here.

i followed the recipe entirely, except for some adjustment here and there.
for my cup measurements, i used ikea's measuring cups.

note: those in italics are those which i adjusted.

ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine - whole butter (227g), scs's non-salted
2 cups sugar - sis's castor sugar
1/2 cup hershey's cocoa - redman's cocoa powder
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup all-purpose flour - prima's plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon vanilla extract - redman's vanilla powder
2 cups (12-oz pkg) hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips - whole packet
1/2 cup macadamia baking pieces - pecan nut, chopped


directions

1. heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- heated mine to 170 degrees celcius. lined my 10x10x1-inch baking pan with baking paper only.

2. melt butter in medium saucepan over low heat.

3. add sugar and cocoa; stir to blend. remove from heat.

4. stir in eggs.

5. stir together flour, salt and baking soda; stir into chocolate mixture.

6. stir in vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts. spread in prepared pan.

7. bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies pull away from sides of pan and begin to crack slightly on the top; do not underbake.
- i baked for 40 to 55 minutes due to the slightly low temperature.

8. cool completely in pan on wire rack.

9. cut into desired bite size.


tips

a. it’s best to place the ingredients near the stove top so that it’s easier to reach out for next ingredient to put in.

b. once butter melted, keep on stirring while putting in other ingredients because the sugar and cocoa might clump together with butter if you do not keep on stirring.

c. the brownies will appear sticky and soft in the inside. so it’s not reliable to insert a skewer to check for the texture inside. i baked mine till the top layer of the brownies harden.

d. to further set the soft brownies, chilled the brownies and serve chilled. the final texture of brownies will appear chewy and slightly soft.

e. if you prefer cake-like brownies, you can try adding in another egg to the recipe (i’ve yet to try it though!).


happy trying!
