Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350°F to create the perfect brownie environment.
- Coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray so your brownies won’t stick.
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until completely smooth and liquid.
- Remove the butter from heat and vigorously whisk in 2 cups granulated sugar until well incorporated.
- Crack 4 large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter looks glossy.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder directly into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter, stirring just until no flour streaks remain.
- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips across the surface and fold them in gently to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into football shapes for a fun presentation.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to help them blend smoothly into the batter for a more consistent texture.
- Melt butter slowly to prevent burning and ensure an even, rich chocolate flavor.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easier brownie removal and cleaner football-shaped cuts.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, which works well in this recipe.
