Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them over a double boiler.
Step 3
Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
