Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler.
- Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Mix Sugars and Eggs:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy!
