Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the brownies evenly.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent the brownies from sticking after baking.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully liquefied, taking care not to burn it.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Remove the melted butter from heat and immediately stir in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and well incorporated without overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the chips.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, avoiding overbaking to maintain fudginess.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for clean edges and best texture.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to keep the brownies tender.
- Use good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate taste.
- Cooling the brownies fully helps in achieving neat cuts and stopping baking from residual heat.
- For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle some sea salt or nuts on top before baking.
