Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
Servings: 24 Brownies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
- 1½ cups Granulated Sugar
- 1½ cups Light Brown Sugar (packed)
- 4 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder (natural or dutch processed works!)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 6 ounces Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Shavings (OPTIONAL)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray one 9x13 inch OR two 8x8 inch pans with non-stick spray.
- In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, double boiler, or microwave, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together until just melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, add the melted butter and chocolate, and whisk until combined.
- Add the sugars and vanilla and whisk vigorously until all of the sugar is combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking to make sure the whole egg is evenly incorporated before adding the next.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture using a sift or a fine mesh sieve. (You can skip sifting it, however it helps to relieve your brownies of cocoa clumps which are very unpleasant to bite into.
- In a separate, medium sized bowl, add the flour and the salt. Mix them thoroughly.
- Add the flour to the rest of the ingredients. The mixture will be very thick and you might have to switch from a whisk to a spatula to finish incorporating the flour.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or shavings if you are using those.
- Pour batter into prepared pan(s). If you are baking in a 9x13 inch pan, bake it for about 35-45 minutes, and if you are baking in two 8x8 inch pans, bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting and eating.
