Ingredients

• 16 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Semisweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
• 4 Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving overhangs to lift the brownies out later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 1.5 cups of the semisweet chocolate, stirring often until smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the remaining 0.5 cups of semisweet chocolate for extra chocolatey bites.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the brownies 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 pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Step 11

Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang (if used). Slice into 16 equal squares and serve. Enjoy!
