Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or line it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Use 30-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting and prevent burning.
- Add granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined, creating a light, glossy texture.
- Crack the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is uniform and slightly fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, using a spatula. Mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overmix, which can make the brownies tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter to ensure chocolate in every bite.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a smooth top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes. To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. This allows the brownies to set and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares. For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each slice.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration and better texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Check brownies early - it's better to slightly underbake than overbake for maximum fudginess.
- Let brownies cool completely for cleaner, more precise cutting.
- For picture-perfect squares, use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts.
- Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- For an elevated presentation, consider adding a drizzle of caramel or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
