Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 ½ cups Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the butter and sugar: In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined to create a smooth base.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the two large eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to distribute the leavening agents and cocoa evenly.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make brownies tough.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter for extra melty chocolate pockets throughout the brownies.
  6. Bake the brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8-inch square baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes for clean slices.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to keep the brownies tender.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or white chocolate chips as desired.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch closely starting at 20 minutes.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for a week.
