Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds rich flavor and moisture; use high-quality butter for best results.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness and ensures the perfect texture; essential for classic brownies.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Enhances moisture and deep flavor; either light or dark works well.
  • 4 large Eggs Bind ingredients together for a perfect structure; room-temperature eggs emulsify better.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aromatic depth to the chocolate; pure extract is recommended.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Key for that chewy brownie texture; you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Provides an intense chocolate flavor; using Dutch-process cocoa will yield a smoother taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavors and balances sweetness; never skip this!
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Offers extra gooeyness; semi-sweet or dark chips work best for that fudgy delight.
Optional Swirls and Additions
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce Drizzle for a decadent swirl that elevates your brownies.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts Adding walnuts or pecans brings a delightful crunch to the gooey texture.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Blend some in for a rich, nutty layer that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
  • Seasonal Flavors Add peppermint extract or zest of orange for a festive touch!

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir granulated and brown sugars into the melted butter until well combined. Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter for that extra gooeyness.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top for even baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs—avoid overbaking to keep that fudgy texture!

Notes

For best results, allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
