Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips of choice
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pan:
- Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Brown the Butter:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the butter to a simmer. Allow it to brown, stirring with a whisk to prevent the butter specks from sticking to the pan. Once it has a nutty aroma, pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl.
- Bloom the Cocoa Powder:
- Immediately add the cocoa powder to the hot browned butter and whisk to combine. Let the mixture cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Sugars:
- Add the light brown sugar and white granulated sugar to the bowl. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla:
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Combine until the batter is somewhat smooth, but avoid overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour into Pan:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-26 minutes. The edges should be set, and a knife inserted into the center should come out with a bit of brownie batter, indicating a fudgy texture.
- Cool:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 40 minutes to an hour before cutting.
- Serve:
- Slice the brownies into squares and serve.
Enjoy!
