Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To prepare the glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy, then pour it over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.
Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for faster setting.
Once the glaze is firm, cut the brownies into 12 squares. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
