Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut 2 strips parchment paper 8″ width
Butter or spray 8″x 8″ pan
Line pan with parchment paper forming a cross
Butter or spray parchment paper
1 stick butter
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. + 2T. flour
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. baking powder
2 eggs
7/8 c. sugar
3 T. amaretto liqueur
3/4 c. walnuts, coarse chopped
Finishing salt (flaked sea salt like fleur de sel), if desired
In large bowl, heat chocolate and butter in microwave at 50% power until melted, stirring gently
In small bowl, whisk dry ingredients
In small bowl, whisk eggs, amaretto, and sugar
Gently whisk egg mixture into melted chocolate

Turn out brownies to cooling rack, removing parchment, to cool thoroughly
When brownies are cool, place on cutting board
I like to cut brownies into small, 1-1/2 in squares
Sprinkle each piece with a few grains of finishing salt, then freeze
