Ingredients:
- 1 cup of (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares or rectangles. Serve these indulgent fudge brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy the rich, chocolaty goodness of these homemade brownies, savoring each decadent bite as you revel in the blissful indulgence.
