Brownie Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Melt Butter and Mix Sugars

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Bake the Brownies

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

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream on top.
