Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup your choice of mix-ins (e.g., nuts, marshmallows, candy pieces, or dried fruit)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove the pan from heat and cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the saucepan. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and your choice of mix-ins to customize the brownies to your liking.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as this will give the brownies a dry texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve as is, or top with ice cream, whipped cream, or additional toppings for an indulgent dessert. Enjoy!
