Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup extra pistachios for topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges. If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top for extra crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy these rich, nutty brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
