Ingredients

• 200 g Unsalted butter
• 200 g Dark chocolate
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 125 g All-purpose flour
• 30 g Cocoa powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 60 ml Cognac
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 23cm (9-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine both the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is light and creamy.

Step 4

Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and eggs, whisking until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the cognac and vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve.
