Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the 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 medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
Let the butter-sugar mixture cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
