Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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 chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for mix-ins)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, for mix-ins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the sugar and eggs, whisking until fully combined.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until the batter comes together.
If adding optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, chunks, or nuts), fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy these mind-blowing brownies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
