6 oz Bittersweet chocolate (for

1 c Unsalted butter (8 oz)
4 lg Eggs
2 1/4 c Granulated sugar

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.
