Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed or natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies. Measure out all ingredients to streamline your process.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine with Sugar: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined to create the fudgy base.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs into the warm butter and sugar mixture one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies dense and tender.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. Cooling helps them set and improves their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help them blend smoothly with the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Don’t overbake; pull brownies out just before they seem fully set to keep that soft, fudgy texture.
  • Choose good-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate taste.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and neat brownie squares.
  • Cool completely before slicing to prevent a gooey mess and allow flavors to settle.
