Big Batch Brownies


Sometimes you just need a lot of brownies!  This makes a big pan perfect for sharing.  Because they freeze well, they are handy to make ahead of when you need them.

Big Batch Brownies
Makes a half sheet pan
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup melted butter, melted
4 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups sugar
1 2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Slowly add in melted butter, and stir to combine.

3. In a large bowl add flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and cocoa.  Stir to combine.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir just to combine (don't overmix).

5. Spread batter into prepared pan.  Sprinkle on chocolate chips and walnuts (if desired).

6. Bake for 32-40 minutes, until edges separate from the pan but middle does not appear totally done yet.  (Don't overbake!)

7. Allow to cool.  Cut into squares and then put pan in freezer.  Once firm in freezer, pull out pan,  separate into individual brownies, and place brownies in freezer bags.  Remove brownies from freezer about 30 minutes before serving.
