Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 60 ml amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to combine.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies dense.
If using, fold in the chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not 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 paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
