Brownie Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat once melted and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugars and Eggs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted butter. Stir until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  7. 7

    Pour and Smooth

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  9. 9

    Cool and Cut

    Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
