Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking oil spray. Line with parchment paper (or baking paper); set aside.
- Combine hot melted butter, oil and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in colour (another minute).
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until JUST combined (do NOT over beat as doing so well affect the texture of your brownies).
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly. (OPTIONAL: Top with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles and is just set to the touch (the brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven). If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out dirty for fudge-textured brownies.
- Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into 16 brownies.

MOIST AND RICH FUDGY COCOA BROWNIES
This recipe makes a wonderfully rich and moist brownie. Aside from the taste and texture, what I like most about this recipe is its size. Since it's just my husband and me, most brownie recipes make way yonder too much. This one makes just enough for us to nibble on for a couple of days (maybe!) I hope y'all enjoy these yummy...

RICH CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
I'm one of those people who need chocolate on a regular basis. I looked high and low for a rich brownie recipe that called for cocoa instead of chocolate squares...and this is it. My family loves these brownies - they never last more than a day at our house. -Karen Trapp, North Weymouth, Massachusetts

RICH FUDGY BROWNIES
I have been making this recipe for years. It is very rich and fudgy, and can be a bit gooey if not cooked for the right length of time. Check by testing the center for gooeyness (is that a word? lol)

RICH, FUDGY COCOA BROWNIES
These are decadent!! They disappear quickly whenever I serve them. Want to make them even better? Top them with a good buttercream icing. WOW! (I use half of a batch of Recipe #261024.) Make sure you try the Extra Rich Variation too. If you want to make brownie bites, prepare the recipe without nuts and place 1 Tbls. of batter in 48 mini muffin tins. Bake for about 10 minutes. The centers will still be a bit soft but it preserves the fudginess of them. If you bake them longer, they will be a drier, more cake-like brownie bite.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the brownies. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and has a rich, chocolatey aroma.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
