Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Microwave in intervals until melted and smooth.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, whisk in vanilla extract, and add eggs one at a time until the batter is glossy.
- Gradually fold in the flour until just combined, then add mix-ins if desired.
- Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor.
- Do not overbake; brownies should remain slightly gooey.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper aids in easy removal.
- Allow cooling for cleaner cuts.
- Feel free to experiment with mix-ins for unique flavors.
