Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Step 3
While the mixture is still warm, add the chocolate chips and stir until they are completely melted and incorporated.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 8
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
