I adapted this from a recipe in a cookbook. I didn’t have the baking chocolate so I substituted the cocoa powder.

Ingredients
6 level Tablespoons of Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa (100% Cacao)
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
8 Tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon maple extract
Cooking spray

Supplies
8” square baking pan
Mixing bowl
Fork
Microwavable bowl

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Spray the baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Put the cocoa, oil and butter in a microwavable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Mix and microwave in 10 second increments until the butter is melted. Stir together.
  3. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Gently stir in the sugar, salt and maple extract.
  4. Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake 20-25 minutes or until just barely set in the middle. You really don’t want to overcook them.
  6. Cool on a rack before cutting. Store them covered and at room temperature.
  7. Notes
    If you don’t like dark chocolate, you can use regular chocolate.
    If you don’t like maple, you can use vanilla.
    I bet they would be good with brown sugar but I haven’t tried it. If you do, you should tell me how it works!
