Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- Optional toppings (e.g., flaky sea salt, chopped nuts)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time to the bowl, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks for an extra layer of gooey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt or chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and makes it easier to achieve clean cuts.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your Better Than Cash Brownies with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat!
