Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies later.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly without burning.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and add 2 cups of granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add 4 large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Make sure the eggs are fully blended into the mixture.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to add flavor to the brownie batter.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help eliminate any lumps and ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cornelia Chocolate Fudge Brownies!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter integration.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick with a few moist crumbs is perfect - it means your brownies will be wonderfully fudgy.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow brownies to cool completely for clean, neat cutting and best texture.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Optional Upgrade: Sprinkle sea salt on top or add a drizzle of caramel for an extra flavor dimension.
