Ingredients
170g unsalted butter
200g granulated sugar
50g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
60g unsweetened cocoa powder
70g all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
120g chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter and stir in both sugars until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
3. Whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Whisk vigorously to aerate the mixture and help create a crackly top.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet using a rubber spatula, mixing only until combined.
6. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
8. Bake for 30–38 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then lift out using parchment and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For best results, don’t overmix the batter after adding flour—this keeps the texture tender and fudgy.
Using room temperature eggs helps emulsify the batter evenly and enhances the brownie’s rise.
For perfect clean cuts, chill brownies and slice with a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
