Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until fully liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 9
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
