Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups 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
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the optional dark chocolate chunks or chips for an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. For the ultimate chewy texture, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your very chewy brownies!
