3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (80g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 Tablespoons (11g) natural unsweetened or dutch-process cocoa powder

1 large Eggland’s Best egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips


Directions:

  1. Make the brownie batter: Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Or melt in a medium microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, in the microwave. Remove from the heat, pour into a large mixing bowl, and allow to slightly cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the brownies out of the pan when cool. Set aside.
