Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams optional mix-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl or a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined and glossy.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a 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 (do not overbake).
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
