Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Optional mix-ins (nuts, chocolate chunks, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the chocolate-butter mixture until combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using, fold in any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or additional chocolate chunks.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).
Step 9
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
