Death-By-Chocolate Brownies

I borrow this recipe from Alton Brown. I must warn you it is for serious chocolate lovers only. These brownies are so decadent and almost too rich to eat. Almost.

Yields 16 brownies

4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 oz. (2 sticks) melted butter
1 1/4 cups cocoa, sifted
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan. In a mixer fitter with a whisk attachment (or just manually beat with a whisk), beat the eggs at a medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine. Pour the batter into the greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick (Insert a toothpick into the center of the pan. Toothpick should come out clean). Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool. Proceed to fall into a sugar-induced chocolate coma.
