Description
A classic, simple recipe for rich and fudgy chocolate brownies. This one-bowl (mostly) method involves melting butter, mixing in sugar, eggs, and dry ingredients, and folding in chocolate chips for an extra gooey texture. The brownies are baked until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs for the perfect fudgy result.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the sugar and stir until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Notes
- This is a classic, one-bowl brownie recipe (after melting the butter).
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour to ensure a fudgy, dense texture.
- The chocolate chips are added for extra gooeyness.
- It is essential to let the brownies cool completely before cutting for clean, neat squares.
