Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into 12 squares or your desired size.
Optional: Lightly dust the top of the brownies with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
Serve with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
