Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-30 second intervals until fully liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
