Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 5

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.

Step 8

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into 12 squares or your desired size.

Step 9

Optional: Lightly dust the top of the brownies with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Step 10

Serve with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
