Chocolate Fudgey Brownies!

Why have I never blogged a brownie recipe until now? Sinful. This and chocolate chip cookies are like a staple of survival. We're having Sunday Family Dinner tonight and I knew I wanted to bake something for dessert, but I was not about to make myself accepting looking for society, and I knew I had all the ingredients for brownies, so I made these! They are SO stinkin' good. So fudgey and gooey and good. And it's a brownie recipe so it only takes like 7 seconds to make! Dinner, which is roast beef with rainbow carrots and loaded mashed potatoes made by Phillip, is about to be set on the table, so I'm going to hurry up and post the recipe and go be a glutton. Ugh. I wish I didn't know I was being a glutton. Forgive me Lord, I know not what I do. Or do I? ....I'm 100% hungry. Goodbye.
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup butter - room temperature
-1 cup granulated sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-2 eggs
-1/2 cup all purpose flour
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 cups chocolate chunks

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.

-Beat together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer bowl. Add the eggs one at a
time, mixing well between each addition.

-Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix in the baking soda.

-Mix in the chocolate chunks with a wooden spoon or spatula.

-Once the batter forms (it will be thick), scrape it into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

-Bake for 25 minutes, until brownies begin to pull away from the side of the pan.
