Description

Indulge in the rich, chocolatey goodness of these homemade brownies. Perfectly fudgy with a hint of sweetness, these brownies are a classic dessert that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold into wet ingredients. Add chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Bake: Pour batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out almost clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and cool before cutting.
  • Try adding nuts or swirling in peanut butter for a tasty variation.
