Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (226g) adds moisture and rich flavor
- 2 cups granulated sugar (400g) provides sweetness and structure
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (75g) contributes deep chocolate flavor
- 3 large eggs, room temperature binds ingredients and adds moisture

- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips (270g) adds sweetness and chocolate richness
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the unsalted butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined and glossy.
- Add the cocoa powder and mix well to incorporate.
- Crack in the eggs, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly combined.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Mix in the semisweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and smooth the top.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
