The Palmer House Brownie

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch rimmed baking sheet.

2 . Stage

Make brownies: Place butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

3 . Stage

Combine sugar and flour in a large bowl. Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture; mix until well combined, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle walnuts on top, pressing them down slightly into batter.

4 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to crisp and brownies rise about 1/4 inch, 30 to 40 minutes.

5 . Stage

Make glaze: Mix together water, preserves, and unflavored gelatin in a saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes.

6 . Stage

Allow brownies to cool for 30 minutes, then spread a thin layer of glaze on top with a pastry brush. Smart Cookie
