some may call it luck, fate, or even an act of God, but these brownies are perfect

Me and brownies go way back, but this recipe from foodwishes.com really takes the cake.

1/2 c butter

1 1/8 c sugar

3/4 c cocoa

1/4 t salt

1/2 t vanilla

2 lg eggs

2/3 c flour

1 c chocolate chips

Melt butter over med-low heat until melted and hot.

Whisk together sugar and cocoa in a large bowl; add melted butter.

Add salt, vanilla and one egg; whisk.

Beat in the second egg.

Mix in the flour with a spatula; when almost blended, add chocolate chips; finish mixing.

Bake in an oiled 8x8 pan at 325 for 30-35 mins, until a toothpick comes out slightly dirty.

They should turn out dense and fudgy, not at all light and cakey.  Just the way I like them.
