Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 items large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 2-3 minutes, or until it turns pale and slightly frothy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate-butter mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) to add extra richness and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Avoid overbaking the brownies to ensure a gooey center.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
