Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal and grease the parchment.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Blend dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.
Tips for Brownie Perfection
- Don't overbake: For a fudgy texture, resist the urge to overbake. The brownies should be slightly undercooked in the center.
- Quality ingredients: Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Customize your brownies: Add nuts, espresso powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a flavor twist.
- Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
