I actually got this recipe from a cookbook (sorry don't know which) in our local library when I was in High School. When I was tired of studying or waiting to be picked up, I would look at cookbooks to pass the time( I get lost in cookbooks!). I always copied down recipes...some I tried, some I kept to try later. Well, this recipe I kept and never tried until I got married! So , I am glad I kept it! This recipe has got to be my favorite recipe for brownies.They are very fudgy/chewy and not cake-like. I made a few additions to it but kept the basic recipe the same.
**you can easily double the recipe which I did this time around. I used an 11x 17 pan for double the recipe.
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside. In saucepan, over medium heat, bring sugar, butter and water to boil.
Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup chips and vanilla or any flavoring you like or both! Stir till smooth. Cool 5 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time until well mixed. Add flour mixture and combine.
Add 1 cup (I reserve a handful so I can sprinkle on top...you don't have to) chips and combine quickly so as not to completely melt the chips ( if they do ...it is OK they still come out great!).
Pour into a greased, parchment lined 8x8 square pan. I noticed that the parchment paper helps a great deal.
Since I doubled it, I used an 11 x 17 pan.
Bake in a preheated oven set at 325. for 35 minutes. (if doubling it let bake for an additional 3-5 minutes). Cool completely.

Cold Glass of Milk
I recommend pairing it with this recipe
"Classic combination!" — stevemur
Double Layer Brownie Fudge
A variation on this recipe
"That's right -- brownies & fudge, at the same time! This amazing brownie recipe is so rich and so sweet. Make sure you cut the brownies into very small pieces - about 1" square, because not many people can handle a bigger piece! You can omit all of the nuts if you'd like; the recipe will still turn out. This is the ONLY brownie recipe my roomate will let me make; he's wild about the concept of a double layered brownie!" — Firebyrd
Choco Nutella brownies
A variation on this recipe
"My variation with Nutella, chocolate tablets, and some different flavourings." — geekspatula
Marshmallow Brownies
Personally, I prefer making it this way
"An ooey gooey marshmallow layer is sandwiched between chocolatey frosting and a thick & fudgy brownie studded with milk chocolate chips. If you want to make them rocky road style just add one cup of walnuts or pecans to the brownies. SO much better than using a brownie mix!" — Firebyrd
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
A variation on this recipe
"If you love raw cookie dough, which I do, and chocolate (who doesn’t?), then this recipe is for you. These lil nuggets have a lot going on, but it all works well together and the flavors don't overpower each other. The cookie dough remains soft and gooey, while the chewy brownie provides the perfect blanket of rich chocolate." — Firebyrd
