Man-Catcher Brownies adapted from the Washington Post

 

12 ounces (3 sticks) unsalted butter

2 cups cocoa powder, sifted (good quality)

6 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter/Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan.

Melt the butter. In a large bowl combine the butter and cocoa powder. Whisk the other wet ingredients (eggs, sugars and extracts) into the chocolate mixture. Then fold in the flour and salt until just combined; do not over mix. Spread the batter evenly in the pan, making sure the corners are filled. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a crust forms on the surface and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack; cool completely before cutting the brownies.
