Ingredients

• 2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 2-1/2 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Maldon salt, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a microwave or in the top bowl of a double boiler, melt together the buttter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Meanwhile, combine the flour and kosher salt in a medium bowl.

3. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl and whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Fold in the dry ingredients and continue folding until no lumps remain.

4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle all over with the Maldon salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top is set and shiny. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 2×2-inch squares.
