Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the chocolate chips and stir continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. If using nuts, gently fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes.
Serve and enjoy your 'Brownie Points' with a scoop of ice cream or a glass of cold milk!
