Fudgy Brownies: The Best Brownie Recipe You’ll Ever Make (Seriously!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
2. 2

   In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined and glossy. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. 3

   Once slightly cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and the mixture is thick and shiny. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. 4

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until *just* combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter).
8. 8

   Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. This is crucial for fudgy texture and clean cuts.
