This classic brownie recipe delivers rich, fudgy, and perfectly chocolatey brownies with a soft, chewy texture. Made with simple ingredients, these brownies are easy to prepare and ideal for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt butter and combine chocolate and sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat, then add the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and granulated sugar, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition to fully incorporate them. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with big strokes until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Bake the batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. This ensures clean cuts and optimal texture.

Notes

  • Do not over mix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid tough brownies.
  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper extending over the edges for easy removal.
  • Check the brownies near the 35-minute mark to prevent overbaking; a slightly underbaked center will be fudgier.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate morsels with chopped dark chocolate if preferred.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
