Description
Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies with a perfect balance of chewy edges and melt-in-your-mouth center. Made with simple ingredients in one bowl for bakery-quality results every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
- 3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- 5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- 6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- 8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs. The center should still look slightly underdone.
- 9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze wrapped individually for up to 3 months. For best results, use room temperature eggs and high-quality cocoa powder. These brownies taste even better the day after baking as the flavors develop.
