Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Optional

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Sugar: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter until smooth and bubbly. Stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture takes on a glossy sheen, indicating the sugar is well incorporated.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ensuring an even distribution of dry ingredients.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to maintain the fudgy texture of the batter.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra gooeyness and chocolate bursts throughout the brownies, if desired.
  7. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform cooking.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can refrigerate brownies for up to one week to extend freshness.
  • Ensure not to overbake to maintain the fudgy, chewy consistency.
