# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
2 cups granulated sugar
02 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
04 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 -
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
06 -
4 large eggs
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Mix-ins
08 -
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang on the sides for effortless removal after baking.
02 -
In a medium saucepan set over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and add granulated sugar, whisking until the mixture appears smooth and glossy.
03 -
Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, whisking continuously, then add vanilla extract, mixing until thick and shiny.
04 -
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
05 -
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding until just combined. Avoid overmixing to preserve a tender texture.
06 -
Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, if desired, to enhance richness and texture.
07 -
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with a few moist crumbs attached.
08 -
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Slice into portions and serve.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For cleaner slices, chill brownies before cutting. Optional chocolate chips create a richer and fudgier texture.
