Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If using any mix-ins like additional chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them in now.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your rich, gooey, decadent brownies!
