Ingredients

  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is glossy and fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Chefs Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to set as they cool.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a bit of crunch if desired.
  • For clean slices, chill the brownies before cutting and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
