Tips:

• If you use salted butter you do not need to add the 1 t. salt. 
• I made my brownies in a cookie sheet so they only took 20 minutes because they were super thin but if you are cooking them very thick in a glass pan then cook them closer to 30 minutes
• Make sure to stick the middle of the brownies with a tooth pick to make sure they are done.
