Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture!).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares and serving.
