Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the slightly cooled chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and glossy.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for a bit of extra crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the 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 (not wet batter). Do not overbake for the best fudgy texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and slice them into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
