today was my first experience making them from scratch. much like everyone else, i always just used the box mixes. well my life has changed for the better after making these delicious treats.
one pound butter, unsalted
one pound semi-sweet chocolate chips
six ounces unsweetened chocolate
six extra-large eggs
two tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 12x18" sheet pan
melt together your butter, 1 pound of the chocolate chips, and all of the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water(a double boiler).then let this chocolate goodness cool slightly.
in a mixing bowl, stir (don't beat) together the eggs,vanilla,and sugar. then stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and allow to cool to room temperature.
in another bowl, sift together flour, the baking powder, and salt. add to the cooled chocolate mixture.
these are supposed to bake for 30 minutes, but you know me, i'm always checking.they ended up taking about 45 minutes for me.when they are done, your toothpick will come out clean :)
allow these to cool completely before cutting and serving
