Shasta Mountain Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 c. unsalted butter (2 sticks)
4 large eggs
2 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 c. chocolate cookie crumbs (about 10 crushed by hand, processor or blender)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Grease, then flour two 9 x 9-inch pans. Melt chocolate and butter over low heat; cool.
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until thick and smooth, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the chocolate-butter mixture, then slowly add the flour.
Do not overmix.
Fold in the cookie crumbs and most of the pecans. Spread the batter evenly into pans and sprinkle with remaining nuts.
Bake about 40 minutes, or until set.
(Brownies will be soft in the center.)
Let cool completely.
Yields 18 brownies. Enjoy.
