Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, if using, for an extra chocolatey flavor.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For gooey brownies: Bake for the shorter end of the time range (around 25 minutes).
- Add nuts: For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
