Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 95 grams all-purpose flour
• 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams chocolate chips or chunks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to ensure fudgy brownies.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your rich, chocolatey brownies!
