Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 9X9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving the edges to hang over the sides of the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed for 2 full minutes. Add the egg and egg yolk and continue beating on high for 30 seconds.

Add the cocoa powder, cream of tartar, and salt and beat on low speed until combined. Lastly, fold in the chopped nuts. Pour batter into the lined pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. The brownies should look fully cooked on top but still be gooey in the center.

These brownies would be wonderful served warm with ice cream or let them cool to room temperature on the counter before chilling in the refrigerator to serve cold. I LOVE these brownies served cold, they are super chewy and fudge-like when cold! Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pecan Toasting Magic 🥜
Always toast pecans before adding to the brownie batter to enhance their nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex taste profile.
Cocoa Powder Power 🍫
Sift your cocoa powder to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, even chocolate distribution throughout the brownie batter.
Butter Melting Technique 🧈
Melt butter slowly over low heat or in a double boiler to prevent burning and maintain a smooth, consistent texture for your brownies.
Egg Tempering Trick 🥚
Gently temper your eggs by slowly incorporating warm butter mixture to prevent scrambling and ensure a silky, uniform brownie batter.
Perfect Pan Prep 🍽️
Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy brownie removal and clean, precise cutting.
