Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until glossy and well combined.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chunks, if using.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter or cream cheese for variations.
- Use dark cocoa or espresso powder for a richer flavor.
- Double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan; increase baking time slightly.
- Top with ice cream and hot fudge for a brownie sundae.
- Refrigerate for extra fudginess and microwave before serving.
