Notes

  • Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt to 3/4 teaspoon. 
  • Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar in this recipe.

  • Chocolate chips: Bittersweet chocolate chips are 60% cacao. A good substitute would be dark chocolate chips. If you prefer, you can use semisweet chocolate chips. However, the brownies will be sweeter. 

    If you like more chocolate chips in your brownies, feel free to increase the stirred in chocolate chips to 1 cup.   If you omit the stirred in portion of the chocolate chips, the brownies won't have as much of a shiny exterior. 

  • If you like more chocolate chips in your brownies, feel free to increase the stirred in chocolate chips to 1 cup.  
  • If you omit the stirred in portion of the chocolate chips, the brownies won't have as much of a shiny exterior. 
  • All-purpose flour: It's important to use a light hand when measuring flour for brownies. To get the proper amount of flour, weigh the flour or sift or stir the flour. Lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level. 
  • The brownies are good at room temperature but are even better after chilling in the fridge overnight.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
