Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
If using chopped walnuts or pecans, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 equal squares and serve. Enjoy!
