Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chopped walnuts, extra chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stir in optional mix-ins at this stage, if desired.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
