Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cups unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 cups cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cups unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-processed preferred
  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup cups semi-sweet chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy your chewy chocolate brownies!

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough brownies
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert
Food Safety:

• Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness
