Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips optional but do not skip unless you want boring brownies

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it lightly with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is thick and glossy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting them out and slicing into squares.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and room temperature eggs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies chewy and rich. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
