Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 90 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams optional chopped nuts or chocolate chunks
Directions
Step 1
Place a medium-sized pot on the stovetop over low heat. Add the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 2
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. The mixture will thicken slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the pot. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
Step 5
If using, gently fold in the optional chopped nuts or chocolate chunks.
Step 6
Prepare a nonstick or well-buttered skillet (preferably 8–9 inches in diameter) with parchment paper at the bottom for easy removal. Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Place the skillet back on the stovetop over the lowest possible heat setting. Cover the skillet with a lid (or foil if you don't have a lid). Cook for 18–22 minutes, checking after 15 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the brownies cool completely in the skillet before slicing and serving.
