Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, taking care not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Grammy Dorothy's Brownies with family and friends!
