Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal of the brownies later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as there are no visible streaks of flour.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with your spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Do not overbake to ensure fudgy brownies.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
