Fudgy Homemade Brownie Recipe
These brownies have earned the title of "the best" from many who have tried them. The secret lies in the combination of rich chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips substitute milk chocolate chips if you prefer a milder flavor
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Melt Butter & Chocolate
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt salted butter and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in Sugar & Eggs
- Whisk in white sugar (and brown sugar if using). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. This helps create that shiny, crackly top.
- Add Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Prepare Pan & Bake
- Line a 9x12-inch prepared pan with parchment paper. Spread batter evenly. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Slice
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting.
Notes
Use milk chocolate chips if semisweet makes it too chocolatey for your taste.
The more you mix, the more likely you'll get a more cake brownies consistency.
Cream cheese frosting goes great on top of these brownies. For best results, frost brownies right after coming out of the oven so frosting goes on smoothly.
