• Set a medium sized saucepan over medium heat and warm the butter until melted.
• Add the granulated sugar and stir well.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder.
• In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and vanilla.
• Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl and whisk in with the eggs and vanilla until well combined. Gently stir in the flour and salt; do not beat or over mix.
