Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter or margarine
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup matzo cake meal
• 0.25 cup potato starch
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and then line it with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter or margarine and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

Sift in the cocoa powder, matzo cake meal, potato starch, and kosher salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
