Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Optional: Chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until combined.
Crack in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the optional chocolate chips or chunks for extra gooeyness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. For cleaner cuts, chill the brownies in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing.
Slice into 9 squares and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
