Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 70 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 65 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 3
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 4
Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs to the chocolate mixture. Beat well with a spatula or whisk until the batter becomes shiny and well blended.
Step 5
Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this point for extra chocolatey goodness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean).
Step 9
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy!
