Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until fully liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
