Brownies

"I melted the chocolate and butter together in the microwave which worked well and is much easier than creaming butter & sugar. I baked for 22 minutes in my new microwave-convection oven @ low-mix and they came out a bit underdone -- next time I’ll try 26 minutes so I agree with the review that said 30 min in a regular oven is not quite long enough (low-mix should be about 75% of regular time). I used three squares of chocolate which may have made these a bit denser than they would otherwise be, but extra chocolaty yumm! I found them a bit greasy for my tastes and will try reducing the butter by about 25% next time and also (maybe) increase the flour by 3 or so tsp: if you like your baked stuff extra buttery than follow the recipe as is. A non-stick pan is very useful for this recipe. I’m at 6000 ft. so when I reduce butter & increase flour I will add a tsp of water. If this works I’ll post an update. Overall they are pretty good and this is a good starting point and even without my adjustments are way better than ones I got at the grocery store and with much purer ingredients."
