Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons bourbon
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
