Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 count Large eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 15-20 second increments until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and cocoa powder to the melted butter, and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet batter, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean to ensure fudginess).
Step 9
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
