Brownies Ingredients

Method

Brownies Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownies cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

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

  4. 4

    Mix Sugars and Eggs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted butter, and stir until well combined. Then, add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  6. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

  7. 7

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips into the brownie batter until evenly distributed.

  8. 8

    Bake the Brownies

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

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and cool them completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
