Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted if lumpy
  • ½ cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips optional, and/or chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8x8-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray. (Do not use a 9x9-inch pan or the brownies will be too thin and overbake.) Line the bottom and two opposite sides of the pan with a sheet of parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the two edges of the pan.
  • Place the melted butter in a large bowl. Add both sugars and mix in with a hand mixer* until combined.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla and salt. Beat with the hand mixer first on low to combine, then on medium speed for about 1 minute.
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder. Mix in with a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful to not overmix. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and use the spatula to spread it out into an even layer.
  • Bake for 25-32 minutes. For fudgier brownies, bake less (a toothpick should come out a little bit gooey). For more done brownies, a toothpick should come out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan completely before slicing. Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into brownies.

Notes

  • If you don't have a hand mixer, you can mix the batter by hand.
  • You can double this recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch metal pan. You may need to adjust the cook time slightly.
