Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 3 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chunks or chips (optional, for mix-ins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter-chocolate mixture until fully combined.

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 flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula, being cautious not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the chocolate chunks or chips for extra gooeyness.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the corners.

Step 8

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for the fudgiest texture.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out, then slice into 9 squares.

Step 10

Serve and watch these brownies work their irresistible magic!
