Macadamia Brownies

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 9 ounces butter (room temperature)
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups coarsely chopped macadamia nuts, divided

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put a light coating of butter onto an 11 x 17 or 15 x 10 inch jellyroll pan, then line the pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, salt, butter and corn syrup.
3. Add the eggs, cocoa, vanilla extract, flour and 1 1/2 cups of the nuts. Mix together thoroughly.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of nuts.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a wooden pick into the center of the pan. If the pick comes out free of moist batter, the brownies are fully cooked.
6. Let cool to room temperature.
