Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 12 teaspoons (1/2 teaspoon) salt
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (226 grams)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Elements:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and lining with parchment paper, then set the oven to 350°F (175°C) for preheating.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and light brown sugars until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, beating thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Gently sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Carefully fold semisweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and create an even surface.
- Generously scatter mini chocolate chips across the top of the batter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely within the pan before slicing into squares for serving.
Notes
- Precision matters when measuring ingredients, especially flour and cocoa powder, to maintain the perfect brownie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration and more consistent mixing.
- Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips to enhance the rich, decadent flavor profile of the brownies.
- For gluten-free variation, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, ensuring the same delightful gooey consistency.
