Method

Brownie 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 and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugars and Eggs

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

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

  7. 7

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  8. 8

    Cool and Cut

    Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Serving Suggestion

  1. 9

    Serve with Ice Cream

    Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or on the side. Enjoy!
