Make rich, dense, and fudgy brownies with a perfect crackly top using this straightforward recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs attached, but the center should still look slightly underdone for maximum fudginess.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang and cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • For the best crackly top, whisk the sugar and eggs vigorously for about one minute before adding the melted butter.
  • Do not overbake the brownies; they continue to set as they cool.
  • For deep chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
  • Store cooled brownies tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to four days.
