Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 4 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
