Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Chocolate Elements:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat your oven to a precise 350°F and position the rack in the center.
- Generously coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove the butter from heat and vigorously whisk in 2 cups sugar until well combined.
- Add 4 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture looks glossy and uniform.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt directly into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until no white streaks remain.
- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips across the batter and fold them in gently.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes for desired fudginess.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
- Cut into 2-inch squares using a sharp knife for clean edges.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration and better brownie texture.
- Check brownies at 25 minutes with a toothpick test, aiming for moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- For extra richness, swap some white sugar with dark brown sugar to add deeper caramel notes.
- Chop chocolate chips smaller to distribute more evenly throughout the batter, ensuring consistent chocolatey bites.
