Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Allow it to cool slightly to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Whisk together granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined and smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold in chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the cake out and transfer to a wire rack.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal servings.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is melted but not scorching hot when mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold ingredients to maintain a tender, soft texture. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense baked goods.
- Use High-Quality Cocoa: The better your cocoa powder, the richer and more intense your chocolate flavor will be.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick with a few moist crumbs is perfect - it means your brownie cake cookie will be deliciously fudgy.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat slices.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Consider adding a drizzle of caramel, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra pizzazz.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
