Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 60 ml amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams chopped almonds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to combine.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Step 7
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies dense.
Step 8
If using, fold in the chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.
Step 9
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 10
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 11
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 12
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
