Amounts
  • 10 tablespoons (140 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (65 grams, may vary by brands) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or a heaping 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt, as I used)

  • 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup (75 grams) walnut or pecan pieces (optional)
Shopping list

“What I'm missing” leaves off staples you almost certainly have — salt, pepper, oil, water — and anything already in your pantry.
