Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Use 30-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting.
- Add sugar to the melted butter and whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly lighter in color.
- Crack the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to create a uniform, creamy texture.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the wet ingredients, stirring until completely incorporated and no dry lumps remain.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well to distribute the flavor evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, then gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges and create a smooth top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for better integration and a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Check your brownies early - it's better to slightly underbake than overbake for that classic fudgy texture.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
