Good morning. My name’s not Sterling, but I’ll get straight to the point. 🥁
This weekend’s a long one, so stock up that fridge, call up some buddies, and ditch work early this Friday. If anyone needs a sick note, just let me know.
Today’s read time: 5 minutes.

The Cottage Kitchen
Dessert or midnight snack, the choice is yours.
Ingredients - Serves 9
0.5 cups cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cups cup granulated sugar
0.3 cups cup cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoons tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cups cup all-purpose flour
0.3 teaspoons tsp salt
0.5 cups cup chocolate chips
Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups cup unsalted butter, melted and 1 cups cup granulated sugar until combined.
Add cocoa, eggs, vanilla: Whisk in 0.3 cups cup cocoa powder, then add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoons tsp vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and glossy.
Fold in 0.5 cups cup all-purpose flour and 0.3 teaspoons tsp salt until just combined, then stir in 0.5 cups cup chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes
Pro tip: For extra fudginess, pull them out when a toothpick still has a few moist crumbs. Great topped with toasted marshmallows for a s'mores twist, or a scoop of ice cream fresh out of the oven.
A Final Note
A long weekend is a little vacation hidden in your calendar.
