Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Additional chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square deep baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and additional chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not raw batter).
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes.
Use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the brownies out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares or desired shapes.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy them at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
