my complicated life

ingredients:

1 1/2 stick butter

2 tablespoon lard/oil

3/4 cup cocoa powder

2-3 tablespoons semi-bitter chocolate chips

1-2 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1 cup flour

2-3 tablespoons white chocolate chips or flakes

directions:

1. heat the butter and oil in a saucepan until melted.
2. add the sifted cocoa powder and place in the butter-oil mixture. heat until melted but make sure to mix continuously so as not to burn it. remove from the heat source.
3. add in the chocolate chip and stir in until melted.
4. add the vanilla and sugar.
5. add the eggs one at a time. make sure to add an egg only after the mixture is fully incorporated.
6. add in the flour and the chocolate chip. do not over-mix to avoid making it aerated (not unless you want it to turn into a cake, hehe).
7. spread in a greased and lined baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes at 350 deg F (warning: do not overbake!).
8. cool and cut into squares.

notes (why i love this recipe):

• sobrang gooey nung outcome! this is what i like in brownies.. yung makunat-kunat. hehe.
• i mix this manually. wooden spoon nga lang gamit ko eh! hehe. kasi kapag electrical mixer andun yung tendency na maging aerated siya.
