Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for syrup)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (for syrup)
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhangs for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs do not cook.

Step 5

Sift together the all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 9

While the brownies bake, make the chocolate syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/4 cup milk over medium heat.

Step 10

Stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and forms a smooth, glossy syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 12

Drizzle the cooled chocolate syrup generously over the brownies, spreading it with a spoon or spatula if needed.

Step 13

Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy the gooey, chocolaty goodness!
