Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chunks or chips (optional, for mix-ins)
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 removal.
Step 2
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter-chocolate mixture until fully combined.
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, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula, being cautious not to overmix.
Step 6
If using, gently fold in the chocolate chunks or chips for extra gooeyness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the corners.
Step 8
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for the fudgiest texture.
Step 9
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out, then slice into 9 squares.
Step 10
Serve and watch these brownies work their irresistible magic!
