Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes) using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges look set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. These crumbly cinnamon chocolate squares pair perfectly with coffee or milk. Enjoy!
