Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chunks (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment lightly to ensure easy removal of the brownies.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugars and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the bowl, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using chocolate chunks or walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For clean slices, refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.

Step 10

Serve as is, or warm them slightly and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible dessert. Enjoy!
