Rachel Zoes Brownie Recipe

I get the Rachel Zoe Report everyday, and love it! Maybe its because I love Rachel. She has an amazing cool factor going on and oh so stylish.  Anyway she shared her favorite recipe with her readers this morning and I thought I would pass it along. Thank you Rachel for sharing and I cant wait to try them! Beyond Brownies My Chocolate Dream Brownies Recipe Ingredients: 2 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup sweet cocoa powder 2/3 cup flour 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 2 cups semi sweet OR milk chocolate chips OR chunks 1/2 - 1 cup walnuts (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use a spoon to stir eggs with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add softened butter. Sift ground chocolate with flour, baking powder and salt. Stir dry mixture into egg mixture until blended and smooth. Add chips and nuts. (DO NOT OVER STIR!) Pour and spread evenly into a greased 8" or 9" square pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes—less time for chewy and more time for cake-like brownies. Makes 16-20 brownies. Cut into squares when cooled. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving with vanilla ice cream
