This recipe yields 9 - 12 brownie squares.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 1 1/4 (1/2 lb) cups chocolate chips

• 4 eggs, room temp

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 cup flour

• 1 cup dutch-processed dark cocoa powder

• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease and line an 8x8” square pan or a 9x13” sheet with parchment paper hanging over the sides.

2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter together in 30 second intervals, until melted.

3. Using a whisk or a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add in the eggs, slowly, whisking well between each egg.

4. Add in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing to combine. Clean the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

5. Add in both of the sugars to the bowl and continue mixing until well incorporated.

6. Follow with the flour and cocoa powder and mix until mixtures comes together to form a smooth batter.

7. Any additions you want to add to the brownie like oreos, nutella, or nuts can be added at this stage and is purely optional.

8. Spread batter evenly into the greased and lined baking tray and bake in the center rack of the oven. A 8x8” square pan makes a taller brownie and requires roughly 45-50 minutes in the oven whereas a 9x13” pan may only require 35-40 minutes. Test the brownie by jiggling it in the oven and if it doesn’t jiggle in the center, it’s ready.

9. Allow to cool to room temp before removing from the pan, cut, and serve!
