Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 70 grams chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined and glossy.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the optional chocolate chips or chunks for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 9 pieces for larger servings or 16 pieces for smaller portions.
