Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until 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 all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Stir in the dark chocolate chunks or chips and the chopped walnuts, if using.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake—the brownies should remain fudgy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
