Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-30 second intervals until fully liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
