    6       oz           Bittersweet chocolate (for
                         -extra-rich results, use
                         -chocolate bars like Lindt
                         -Extra instead of baker’s
                         -chocolate)
    1       c            Unsalted butter (8 oz)
    4       lg           Eggs
    2 1/4   c            Granulated sugar
    1       t            Vanilla extract
      1/2   c            Flour
    2       tb           Flour
    1       c            Chocolate chip cookie crumbs
                         (8 oz -- about 10 cookies
                         -crushed by hand or in a
                         -blender or food processor)
                         Vegetable oil spray for pans
                         Flour for pans
 
   Preheat the oven to 350'F. Spray, then flour two 9x9″
   pans. Melt the butter and chocolate over low heat;
   cool.
   
   Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric
   mixer on medium speed until thick and smooth, about 3
   minutes. Stir in the chocolate-butter mixture, then
   slowly add the flour. Do not overmix. Fold in the
   cookie crumbs and most of the pecans. Spread the
   batter evenly into the pans and sprinkle with the
   remaining pecans. Bake about 40 minutes, or until set.
   (The brownies will be soft in the center.) Let cool
   completely. Cut into 3x3″ squares.
