Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-processed)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. The mixture may look a bit grainy, but that is perfectly normal.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk vigorously for about one to two minutes. This helps create that iconic shiny, crackly top on the brownies.
- Gently sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the thick batter. If you like, you can save a small handful to sprinkle on top before baking.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is the hardest part, but cooling allows the fudgy structure to set properly. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.
