Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon until well combined.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
