Equipment
- mixing bowl
- oven
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- whisk
- spatula
- microwave
- sifter
- wire rack
- knife
- cutting board
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of softened butter. Whisk in 2 cups of sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add the 4 room-temperature eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the batter is thick and well blended. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
- Sift 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder directly into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Spread the thick batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before using the parchment paper to lift them out and slice into squares.
Notes
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Store in an airtight container.
