Equipment

Whisk
Mixing Bowl
8"x8" baking pan

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted 115g
1 cup granulated sugar 200g
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour 65g
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 50g
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chips 90g

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined - be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter, then pour it into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs - I highly recommend you check the brownies at the 20-minute mark. You want them to be set on the edges but still slightly gooey in the center for that perfect fudgy texture.
Once done, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Same Size Brownies: To keep your brownies uniform in size, use a hot knife & wipe it off after every cut when slicing the brownies small.

Adding Mix-Ins: If you like nuts or other bits in your brownies, feel free to add up to another half cup of chopped walnuts, candy pieces, or cacao nibs to the batter along with the chocolate chips - just don't add more than 1 cup of mix-ins in total.

Melting Butter: Make sure the butter is fully melted to ensure it incorporates smoothly with the sugar.

Overmixing: Avoid overmixing the batter once you add the dry ingredients - overmixing can lead to tougher brownies.

Chocolate Chips: Feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you like—dark, milk, or even white chocolate. You can also mix in nuts, chocolate candies, or other add-ins if you prefer, up to one cup in total.
