Chocolate Brownie

Chocolate brownies are the ultimate comfort treat: rich, fudgy squares that hit the perfect balance between cake and candy. Each bite delivers a deep cocoa punch, with a slightly crackly top that gives way to a gooey, almost molten center. Whether you like yours extra fudgy or a bit more cakey, brownies never fail to bring on that warm “ahhh” feeling.

Born in the late 19th century—some say by accident when a baker left out baking powder—brownies quickly became an American classic. Over time they’ve grown far beyond their humble roots: people swirl in ribbons of cream cheese, stud them with nuts or chocolate chunks, and even sandwich ice cream between two slabs for an over-the-top treat.

What really makes brownies shine is their versatility. They’re equally at home at a cozy family gathering or as a stylish dessert at dinner parties. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or just enjoy them straight-up with your favorite cup of coffee. No matter how you serve them, chocolate brownies have a way of turning any moment into something a little more special.

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter

  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar

  • 0.75 cup cocoa powder

  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour

  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder

  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter. Do not overmix to maintain brownie texture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool in the dish for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, or at room temperature for the best fudgy texture.
