Description
Rich, fudgy, and endlessly versatile, brownie desserts are a timeless treat that can be dressed up or enjoyed as-is.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2¼ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until combined and glossy.
- Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Add the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the flour and mix just until no streaks remain. Gently stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or using as a base for other desserts.
Notes
- Brownies can be served warm with ice cream.
- Customize with add-ins like nuts or swirls of caramel.
