Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped*
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour**
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving a slight overhang on all sides.
- Add butter and chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Stir, and continue microwaving and stirring in 15 second intervals until butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. It usually takes me 1 minute total.
- Whisk in sugars until well-combined. Batter will look grainy.
- Whisk in vanilla and eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Batter should look smooth and be well-combined.
- Whisk in cocoa and salt.
- Fold in flour until combined. Batter should be thick.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
- Let cool to room temperature in pan.
- Cover brownies, and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Cut into squares to serve.

Notes
- *Good-quality bittersweet chocolate chips will work in place of chopped chocolate.
- **Be sure to avoid packing the flour. I fluff the flour, scoop, and level.
