Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. If using walnuts or chocolate chunks, gently fold them in now.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
