Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

  • 1 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup optional semi sweet chocolate chips or coarse chopped chocolate of choice (optional )

  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until edges are set. The center should feel soft but will set as they cool.

  • Cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before cutting.

Notes

  • Pull the brownies out of the oven when the edges are set, and the middle is still gooey-they'll set as they cool. 
  • Be sure to beat the eggs and sugar until the eggs are pale yellow in color to create a flaky crinkle top brownie. 
  • Fold the ingredients together only until things are just combined and no further. 
  • If using a 9x9 inch square pan, you'll likely need to reduce cooking time by 4-6 minutes. 
  • If using a 13x9 inch rectangular pan, reduce cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
