Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Lightly coat an 8x8 inch metal baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Melt Butter, Sugars, and Chocolate: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and transfer this mixture to a bowl, allowing it to cool for about 10 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Add Eggs: Using an electric mixer, add the eggs one at a time to the cooled chocolate mixture. Beat very well after each addition to ensure a smooth and cohesive batter for the fudgy texture.
- Incorporate Vanilla, Cocoa Powder, and Cornstarch: Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and cornstarch to the mixture. Whisk these in thoroughly by hand to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and gently pound the pan twice on the counter to remove air bubbles and level the batter for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The brownies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This cooldown period ensures the brownies reach their ideal fudgy consistency.
Notes
- Use a metal baking pan rather than glass or ceramic for best results as it promotes even baking.
- Be sure the chocolate mixture is cooled before adding eggs to prevent them from scrambling.
- Do not overbake; the brownies should be moist inside with a slightly crackly top.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner slices.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
