Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour to set. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into 12 squares.
Serve the brownies as they are, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
