Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 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 dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional; e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until completely smooth and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chunks and/or chopped nuts for added texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 squares or preferred serving sizes, and enjoy!
