Brownie Recipe

 

Ingredients:

- 1 and 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (12 tablespoons), plus more for greasing the pan

- 2 cups of sugar

- 4 large eggs

- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

- Optional: nuts, espresso powder, or other mix-ins of your choice

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.

2. Melt the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

3. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until well combined.

4. Let cool slightly, then stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and salt.

5. Add the flour and stir until just combined.

6. Stir in the chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the pan's edge comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips and Variations:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.

- Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies.

- Add-ins like nuts, espresso powder, or dried cranberries can enhance the flavor and texture.

- For chewier brownies, bake for 23-25 minutes. For firmer brownies, bake for 30-32 minutes.
