Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once fully melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Stir the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract. Then, add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until the batter is shiny and thick.
Fold in the flour gently, just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Enjoy your rich, fudgy plain old brownies!
