Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
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 unsalted butter completely. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until combined and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Once the butter and sugar mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, spreading them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for chewy brownies!).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy. These brownies are excellent on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
