Fudgy Brownies
Description
This brownie recipe begins by melting butter over low heat and stirring in sugar to create a shiny base. Cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla are added to beaten eggs and combined smoothly. The warm butter-sugar mixture is blended into the eggs, which improves the texture. Flour and mini chocolate chips are folded in last to provide structure and pockets of melted chocolate.
Baked in a 9x13 pan at 350°F for about 30 minutes, the brownies develop a slightly firm edge with a moist, fudgy center. A toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating proper doneness. These brownies are cut into 20 pieces, each estimated for calories, acknowledging variation from ingredient brands.
Perfect for a dessert or snack, these brownies deliver classic dense chocolate texture backed by a simple mixing method.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Heat just until the mixture is hot, but don't let it bubble. Watch for it to start looking shiny as you stir it.
- As the butter is heating, n a large bowl beat the 4 eggs until they are fluffy and well blended.
- Add in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla and mix till smooth.
- Add the hot butter & sugar mixture to the egg & cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Add the flour and chocolate chips, again stirring until smooth.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the edges of the brownies look set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. It's ok if a few crumbs stick to the toothpick...the middle should be very moist, but not unbaked!
Notes
- The recipe yields 20 brownies; calorie counts are approximate due to variations in ingredient brands.
