Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate chunks or chips (optional for mix-ins)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each session, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chunks or chips for an extra burst of fudgy goodness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 9
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (about 2 hours) before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve!
