Grandma's Wicked Chocolate Brownies

Anyone who has ever had one of Grandma Hazel's brownies will tell you they are the best brownies in the world. This recipe is really good, but no matter what I do, they never taste as good as Grandma's...must be all the love! The recipe is super simple and over the top chocolatey deliciousness.

Mix together in a medium size bowl: 

1/2 cup oil (vegetable)
1/2 cup dark dutch process cocoa (Grandma uses Hershey's Special Extra Dark Cocoa)
1 cup white sugar

Beat in two eggs*

In a separate bowl mix together:

1/2 cup all purpose flour*
1/4 tsp baking powder

Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and beat well by hand (about 50 strokes with a spoon or spatula).

Last, stir in a 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (Grandma uses the Hershey's special dark chocolate chips).

Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch square pan and bake at 350 for about 15-25 minutes depending on your gooeyness preference.

*For high altitude, I used jumbo eggs and added 2 T more flour.
