Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Optional: Dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chunks for an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
