Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups (450g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
Melt Butter and Sugar:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
Transfer the butter-sugar mixture to a large mixing bowl. Allow it to cool slightly.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Bake:
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. Be careful not to overbake; the brownies should remain fudgy in the center.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
Enjoy your deliciously rich and fudgy brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
